Vigilance is a third-person shooter developed by Postlinear Entertainment and Any Channel and released by SegaSoft in 1998 for the PC. Plot The single player campaign followed eight agents working for the counter-terrorist organization SION (Special Intelligence Operations Network). Gameplay The game combines first and third person perspective, allowing the player to control one of eight SION agents each with varied strengths and weaknesses. Aside from the basic single player mode, it also came with a support of play over LAN and Heat.net. Characters Alexander "Bishop" Blair - Bishop, a 38-year-old British-American, is an expert assassin. Although weak in combat, his stealth and sneaking abilities make him more than capable to handle most situations required of him. When not on missions, Bishop often wears expensive clothing and tailored jackets. His skills are assassination, communications, demolitions, medical, stealth and tactics, while his specialties are stealth and assassination. Nicole "Nikki" "Duchess" Davinova - Nikki is a 32-year-old Russian who specialized in stealth and reconnaissance. Although her reconnaissance is limited to 50 feet, it is still good enough so that, when coupled with her sneaking abilities, she can avoid most confrontations. This is good for her because she does not last long in battle. She is skilled in computers, repair, medical, high tech weapons, security systems and communications. John "Bluto" Blutanski - In his 29 years of life, Bluto has become a tough man. His heavy drinking and countless injuries have taken a toll on the brute, however. The tradeoff is that he can carry more equipment without slowing down. His specializations in demolitions and strength and stamina reflect the type of personality he has: there is not any problem that cannot be killed. Bluto's preferred attack method is to spray the room with bullets, and he is skilled in demolition, assassination, melee, thrown weapons and repair. Damen "Demon" Rush - Demon is quite different from his fellow American, Bluto. While Bluto prefers to use explosives and heavy weapons to accomplish all of his goals, Demon is skilled in all forms of combat. He is very versatile in the field, and he can maintain a fast pace with almost twice his weight in equipment. He specializes in reconnaissance, and is able to detect enemies within 50 feet of him. He is also able to carry twice the amount of ammo with him. His skills include demolitions, repair, medical, security systems, stealth and reconnaissance.
