Description

CX-5210. Rarity 2 Common+. 1 player or 2 players alternating hotseat cooperative play. North America NTSC. Missile silos have been commandeered by terrorists. Fight them with your computer by cracking the missiles' codes. OR destroy all the missiles while they sit in their silos. OR drive your tank through the middle of their base for a more personable solution. In two player games, if a player 1 fails or dies, the player 2 is activated (on the same battlefield). If player 2 also fails, then player 1 is activated on the same battlefield again, and so on. This continues until one the terrorists are foiled (Winning the battle), or the missiles are launched (losing the game).
