Description

From Cefa introduction to the game:
Alerta Roja (Red Alert)is a game for secret agents from 10 to 90 years, in which from 3 to 6 players can take part.
During the voyage of a merchant ship that transports barrels with radioactive waste, one of them disappears mysteriously.
By satellite, this barrel is directed through the sea to a far away city.
Ultimatum: In 48 hours the city will be destroyed!!
The most famous secret agent must find it, using the most sophisticated equipment available. Since the barrel, being moved by computers, can transform itself into the same type of vehicle that the agent uses for his quest, the search and recovery becomes an almost impossible mission.

Games components:
1 board
1 tracking base
5 secret agents
1 radioactive can
39 car pieces (black)
29 launch pieces (blue)
18 submarine pieces (orange)
5 Interference pieces (purple)
13 passing sector pieces (navy blue)
1 trap piece (red)

Basically, Alerta Roja is a Spanish remake of Scotland Yard with a different theme. Though Cefa produced some original (now cult) releases in the eighties, cloning international games was their main production line in that period.
