Saboteur (1985 video game)

is a stealth[1] action-adventure game created by Clive Townsend and published by Durell Software in 1985 for several 8-bit home computer formats.

In 2017, Clive Townsend, in association with realtech VR, released an enhanced version of Saboteur!

[4] The player is set in the role of an anonymous ninja, tasked with getting into a warehouse to steal a floppy disk which has the names of rebel leaders on it.

The player must navigate through the complex of rooms (consisting of the warehouse, dark tunnels and the secret command centre) to find the disk and escape.

The chosen difficulty level determines how many guards are on watch, how much time the saboteur has to complete his mission, and how easy the route to the disk and helicopter will be (i.e. how many security doors on the way are locked and will need to be opened in some way).

was based on routines and ideas from Clive Townsend's Death Pit, a game that was cancelled before development on Saboteur started.
