Published in 1992 by Virgin Interactive, ''[[Floor 13]]'' is an odd but unique strategy game about [[Industrialized Evil|the banality of evil]]. The game is set in Great Britain, where the player is promoted to the Director General of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries to replace the last DG who suffered a fatal case of [[Destination Defenestration|defenestration]].

Of course, the Department is merely a front to the player's actual task - to keep the Prime Minister and the Government popular while avoiding drawing too much attention. The player is presented with a variety of cases ranging from defecting politicians to secret societies. At the player's disposal are tools such as [[State Sec|search teams, assassins and heavy assault squads]]. Failure to keep the Government popular will result in the player being fired, while being "too loud" will result in a certain Mr Garcia defenestrating the player like their ~~precedessor~~.

To further complicate the game, the player is a member of a secret society as well, and has the option of completing their missions along with their usual duties in the department.

=== The game provides examples of: ===

* [[Badass]]: One of suspects is a former green beret commando turned underworld heavy.

* [[Being Evil Sucks]]: [[Unwinnable|The player character will fail]], and it will be due to his boss' approval ratings eventually being even 49% once on one target date because of events not under the control of the player character, and his boss is not actually very well-liked. When the player character fails, they are automatically and without doubt, fired. If he used way too much force in his alleged "duties", then [[You Have Failed Me...|it's flying lessons when he's fired]]. If he didn't, he's still fired.
