About Berlin 1948

Berlin 1948 is a point and click adventure presented from a third person perspective. The player assumes the role of an American spy operating in the city during the post war period, when control of Berlin is contested by multiple nations.

The core objective involves protecting an atomic bomb that was secretly brought into the city by American forces, ensuring it does not fall into the hands of Joseph Stalin. This adventure uses an interface that is noted as being somewhat more complex than the SCUMM system used in other contemporary titles.
