Spy Quest 1 was a text parser game in Sierra's AGI style. Spy Quest 2 is ostensibly a point and click game in Sierra's SCI1 style, with an interface that borrows from that of Space Quest 4. However, some people prefer the added flexibility or nostalgia of a text parser. So, Operation: BOGROLL supports both.
You don't need to choose which style you prefer, as both interfaces are always active. Just point and click to your heart's desire (the icon bar is hidden at the top of the screen), or simply start typing. The game can be completed fully whichever method of interaction you use or with any mixture of both.
There are few extra hints in the parser responses to alert you to things that would only be visible in the dialogue selection box when using point and click, just so that parser users aren't at a disadvantage. Some fully optional actions can only be performed with the parser, but yield some hopefully humourous responses from the game.
