Mercenaries, Spies and Private Eyes (MSPE) was first published in 1983. This is an RPG very similar to the classic Tunnels & Trolls fantasy RPG system, except it is (as the title suggests) for more modern characters with guns, armor and tech. You can play adventures from the Victorian age all the way to the modern era. in 2019 we created this new Combined Edition of MSPE that includes all the material from the Blade 1983 edition, all the material from the Sleuth 1986 edition and almost 20 pages of brand new material including new rules and play advice by best selling author Michael Stackpole (who wrote the original edition of the rules.) It is more of a skill based system than T&T, and the skills are based on modern abilities like computer hacking, gunsmithing, driving etc.
