Northern Ireland - 1983 PC game

1983. The height of The Troubles, and the Cold War.

Northern Ireland, and in particular County Armagh and County Down, have been wracked by recent attacks on the RUC, the Army, and the civilian populace. According to Intelligence reports, this is believed to be due to a recent split in the Provisional IRA, with the hardliners forming their own paramilitary organisation:

The Ultach Fuascailt Armtha, or the Ulster Liberation Army.
 
You take the role of 29 year old Sgt. John Casey, a member of The Increment, a shadowy black ops unit comprised of SAS, SBS, and Intelligence operatives set up in the early 70‘s to deal with threats against the crown, and NATO.

The Increment's Blue Team have been dispatched to the province in an attempt to cripple the new splinter group by tracking down and eliminating or capturing their leadership before there are further attacks, via any means necessary.

The threat has to be eliminated before it is too late.

Failure is not an option.

• Over 30 Weapons - As our game is going to be a [F]irst [P]erson [S]hooter – we’re trying to implement a wide array of weapons for the player to use.  Each weapon has its own particular values, and will be useful in certain situations, while being not as effective in others.
• Accurate portrayal of Northern Ireland - bias, is a problem with all media, and in particular, Northern Ireland. We're hoping that we can create something which shows Northern Ireland during the Troubles as unbiased as we can, with the environment, and the circumstances surrounding the Troubles being explored as much as possible.
• Interaction with NPC's - NPC's play an important part in the modification, creating depth of character, advancing the story, and making the characters more realistic, not 2-dimensional.
• Realism - We are attempting to make this as realistic as possible, with the damage done to an NPC with a specific weapon, the weapon itself, the vehicles, the NPCs, the reaction from NPCs in regards to what you do, and how you act in certain areas. Also, we are trying to make it as believable as possible - how people act, the reasons behind their actions, are all given form.
• Compelling Storyline - The idea is to make the storyline as realistic, and as possible, as we can. This will hopefully keep the player interested, and keep playing the modification.
• Large, complex Areas - We hope to implement large swathes of farmland similar to that of County Armagh, along with that of a metropolis - London, Londonderry, Belfast are just some of the areas that are in mind in the current plot.
• Vehicles - We also hoping to implement as many of the vehicles that were in NI as possible, for use either by the computer to transport the player, or, for the player to actively use.
• Different angles to approach an objective - does the player go for stealth option, go in guns blazing, or do they snipe from a-far? You could take many angles to get into a town over the fields, for example, or different routes to get to the objective.
