It also annoys me that the Cops and your fellow Agents try to attack you while the Unguided Citizens are not disturbed by anyone. U-Citizens are real Cyberpunks...

Just like in Syndicate, in this game it is also possible to persuade Cops, fellow Agents, Agents of the Church of the New Epoch and U-Citizens aka Cyberpunks. Oh, you can also persuade the Agents (Helpers? Agent Assistants) with lighter Armor.

Just like in Syndicate, I managed to persuade as much as possible of Enemy Agents, Syndicate Agents, Police Officers to guide them on the right path. The exceptions would be the final Missions in outer space...

There is a Mission (hinted by Walkthroughs and Hints) that you persuade a Scientist. This Mission has a loophole in which you can accomplish this Mission as many times as you wish and get “clones” of the Scientist enough to leverage your Military Research.

A curious thing is that when I released the Civilians from persuasion, they took the weapons of the fallen enemies (Cyberpunks) and started attacking me!
What I complain about this game is the absurd difficulty for Eurocorp Agents to suppress the rebellion:

• Uncontrolled Eurocorp Agents;
• Uncontrolled Armored Cops;
• U-Citizens aka Cyber-Punks / Daft Punks (Rock & Roll!) ;
• The Church of the New Epoch Agents with armed Robots never seen before and totally unknown by Eurocorp;
• Eurocorp is only at a disadvantage and has to work hard to survive and defeat enemies. It would be very tempting to use Cheat Codes!

I think the main Genre should be Adventure, because it is really a long journey to the Promised Land (Moon!).

The Fifth Horseman This looks much better than the unfinished FreeSynd project.
Awesome.

Supercalifragilistic For anyone with the original CD, there is a better way to play this than running through DOSbox - some wonderful people have taken the effort to port the game to Mac, Windows and Linux:

You can then run the game at the proper speed, in the best resolution. No more muddy 320x200!

(I can play it by using virtual machine and emulation windows98. But that's not perfect because the movies are very choppy etc.)
