I would, I myself have two copies and have greatly enjoyed playing the game. 
Even if you end up not playing it you could sell it for more. $$$ ;)

I liked it, and I still have two copies.  That was one of three RPG's we played afloat.

What the--  Are we talking about the Top Secret game with the red-bordered cover by Merle M. Rasmussen (edited by Allen Hammack), copyright 1980, 1981?

Because if so, I've got two copies of it too! :D

Also got Operation:  Sprechenhaltestelle (1980, yellow cover), Lady in Distress (1982, red cover), and Operation:  Fastpass (1983, green cover).

Fun game!

Thanks for reminding me I had this stuff!  I've got some players who might enjoy trying the game out.

Oh, right:  Yes WizzyBlackmore, you should definitely pick it up.  Heck, it's worth the $10 just for appendices three, four and five!  Interesting reading right there.

I agree, it is definitely worth the 10 bucks.  While it never seemed to make a great campaign oriented game, it was a lot of fun for one-shot or short-term games.

If you do decide to stick with it (or play any other game set in a modern-day setting) I'd strongly recommend hunting down James Bond accessories.  The James Bond game was never that great, but it had some fantastic maps that are very easily used for any other modern game.  As a bonus, they usually go for very cheap.  I would typically pay under 3 dollars for James Bond stuff at various conventions I attended.

I played that James Bond game way back when, it wasn't bad, but not as good as TS.  Of course, when I was playing TS, all of us enjoyed that on.  Something about covert ops games and Marines seem to click.  :)
