Its good, but its not the one

OK, how about this?

It's always the first thing I do, but in this case it appears not :) So we're sure it's not that game where you comb the teacher's hair? What's it called again? "Comb During Lessons"? "Comb In Class"? "Comb At School"? Something like that. You're just nit picking now :...

Looks like Agent X 2 but the window glass is clear in that game
