Official description

The evil General Kilbaba has a stranglehold on the Middle East, and his military goons are out to ensure that it stays that way. The President of the U.S.A. has called on you to overthrow this nefarious madman, and you’re not one to turn down a challenge. Choose your campaign, select a copilot to get your back, hop into a real Apache helicopter, and set out to eliminate America’s greatest foe once and for all. Referring to a battle map to figure out targets and objectives, you’ll fly through enemy airfields, take out control stations, kill guards, set prisoners free, and much more. High-powered weaponry will be one of the big keys to your success, so you’ll have to make good use of hydras, chain guns, and hellfire missiles. Of course, the enemy also has his share of tanks, choppers, soldiers, speedboats, and other offensive options—so be on your guard. Awesome graphics and a three-quarter overhead perspective lend authenticity to this white-knuckle adventure.
