TSR's Top Secret Anyone?

Anyone interested in a game of Top Secret?  I'm looking for 2-3 inquisitive, active players hoping the game will move quickly.  Player-driven is the intent.

I remember playing it in the 80s, but can't remember much about it.

I am interested. Only recently recovered my Top Secret boxed set and would love an excuse to revisit it.

Interested, but define "active". I'm not the daily-poster type.

By active I mean someone who is not reactive only.  Someone who takes initiative without waiting for me as GM to prompt action, and who will prompt the other players and myself.  A collaborative partner.

Are we talking Top Secret or Top Secret/S.I.? I'm good with either one. It's my second favorite genre after science fiction!

I grew up on The Man From U.N.C.L.E., I Spy, Secret Agent, Get Smart, Mission: Impossible, Our Man Flint, and, of course, James Bond! And I bought and read all the books out at the time!

Translating all that into a game isn't easy, even for proactive players since we can never be sure where the Administrator is leading us!

I'd be game to play as the sidekick/assistant in a two-person max game.  Like an Agent 99 or something; I still have the original Top Secret rules!

But anything more than a two person game is too far afield for me.

Did anyone get a Top Secret game up and running?

I am running a game, yes.  Though it is a bit slow right now and I hope to turn it around.

If you were going to do a Top Secret thing, I would be into it.

There's a few ways to do more than two characters, but I see where the 'traditional' setup would be two players (Steed & Mrs Peel, the two guys from I Spy, Maxwell Smart & 99, etc).

I've never played Top Secret but shows like Mission Impossible, The Mod Squad or even FBI etc show how teams can work just as well as solo or duo games.  I'm keen if the opportunity arises.

I was also thinking of the game Deniable, which has a really distinct, but adaptble playstyle about being people roped into espionage situations.
