Description: Take control of a Sabre Team of 22 S.A.S. (British Special Forces) in a simulation of the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege. This is based on real events, though I don't know how historically accurate it is. If you were to take the Rainbow Six games and make them into a British, turn-based, overhead isometric view game, and rounded out the package with some nicely done 2D cutscenes, you'd probably get Sabre Team out of it. You have to play this game in PAL mode... despite the giant black bar that is always at the bottom of the screen that makes you think NTSC might work fine, the game will crash immediately after boot with some weird graphical nonsense on the screen. There MIGHT be an outer box for this game, judging from some bad eBay pictures, but so far it is not confirmed.
