Messed around with Spycraft: The Great Game, an FMV adventure game Activision made in the mid 90s with input from a former CIA director and a KGB big shot who defected that is possibly the most dad core game I have ever seen.

I like it, with even the sloppy patriotism coming off as almost quaint

Also props to the film people on this, the direction and action for the FMV bits so far are actually solid, like of the time TV drama solid, which is basically god tier for mid 90s FMV games.

There's even some cool shots with interesting lighting alongside the flatly shot stuff there for realism
