Re: Help me ID old Apple II game

It's called Agent USA I believe.  I used to play it in the library back when 
you had to book //e time by the hour to use one (if you were too poor to 
afford one at home).  Those were the days!  I never finished it in time and it 
was suppose to be one of those damnable educational titles.  Despite that fact 
and my usual adversion to the genre I played it anyway.  Maybe Scholastic 
published it.  Also perhaps there was more than one title in the series.  My 
aged brain cells cannot recall.  Good luck tracking it down!  I do recall it 
being tough enough that I never finished it sucessfully either running out of 
time or having everybody become a fuzzy.
