Spycraft: The Great Game/Trivia


Trivia about Spycraft: The Great Game includes:

  • Acclaimed Flop: Despite being recognised as a classic in the adventure genre and Gamespot naming it as the "Best Game That No One Played" for 1996, the game did not sell well, which combined with its then-extravagant budget, derailed any hopes of a sequel.
  • Cast the Expert: Ex-CIA director William Colby and former KGB Major-General Oleg Kalugin appear as fictionalised versions of themselves in the game, and were also consulted to lend much to the game's much-ballyhooed authenticity.
  • Stillborn Franchise: A post-credits teaser hinted at a sequel, but the game's poor sales and the passing of William Colby dashed any chances for subsequent instalments.
  • Troubled Production: According to a Polygon documentary about the game, one of the Russian cast members recognised Kalugin and confronted the former KGB agent, exclaiming "You killed my father!", resulting in a bit of a scuffle on-set. Police were called to diffuse the situation, and production continued.
