''KGB'' was ported to CD in 1993 with some rather odd additions. Rather than adding voices or redbook music, they instead cast Donald Sutherland, [[FakeRussian dressed him up as a Russkie]], and inserted him as the [[LiveActionCutscene FMV]] ghost of your father. They even changed the title to ''Conspiяacy: [[CelebrityStar Starring Donald Sutherland]]''.

Set during the dying throes of the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Soviet Union]], ''KGB'' puts you in the unenviable shoes of Captain Maksim Rukov, recently transferred to [[SecretPolice Department P]] from UsefulNotes/{{GRU}}, whose job is to ferret out corruption. (Good luck.) Your first case is to investigate the petty murder of a [[PrivateDetective private eye]]; naturally, there's more to it than that, and you become further entangled in a [[GovernmentConspiracy conspiracy]] involving the CIA, mind-control experiments, and a possible {{military coup}}.
