Syndicate

Taking the role of an executive of a criminal syndicate in a dark cyberpunk future, the player controls teams of cyborg agents on missions: assassinating politicians, opinion leaders or executives from rival syndicates, retrieving important objects, kidnapping scientists or taking out enemy agents.

The world map consists of 50 regions, each containing one level (two training levels are also available).

The stages are presented in isometric view, and one to four agents are controlled.

Unlike the indirect cursor control in the computer versions, on the consoles the agents are controlled directly, with potential targets being selected automatically.

Unlike the multi-layered versions of the computer game, all levels consist of one layer only.

Between missions, taxes from conquered territories can be spent on researching new weapons and cybernetic upgrades for the agents.

These are all the same as on the computer versions, with the exception of the flame thrower, which has been replaced with the less gruesome 'chiller'.

Indirect control of the agents with drugs influencing adrenaline, perception and intelligence also remains the same.

The policemen and guards from the original are gone, their place being taken by robotic drones.

Syndicate for Sega Genesis is currently worth €122.27 loose, €39.20 complete in box, and €95.84 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Syndicate has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Syndicate, loose is €122.27 and CIB is €39.20 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Syndicate is currently worth €122.27 loose, versus €107.73 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
