Official description
You are a member of the elite corps selected for your courage, ingenuity and special skills to go on the most dangerous missions. Parachute behind enemy lines armed only with a machine gun and hand grenades. This fast-paced action simulation challenges your strategic skills and reflexes. Control one soldier's battle against overwhelming odds. You can run, walk or crawl across full-scrolling 3D terrain using trees, bushes and ravines to avoid the enemy or set up an ambush. Whether rescuing hostages from a terrorist prison or infiltrating the headquarters of an enemy unit, every mission takes careful planning and pinpoint execution. Drop caches of weapons and first aid supplies, outmaneuver the enemy, then locate the pick-up zone in order to reach safety!
