Official description
Special Alert: Terrorists have invaded our Embassy and seized an undertermined number of hostages... Lives hang in the balance as high-ranking diplomats are held at gunpoint... Their safety requires immediate action... Prepare to infiltrate the embassy, neutralize the terrorists, and rescue the hostages... Or die trying.
Stage 1: Set up strategic positions across from the Embassy. Be prepared to dive for cover if the terrorist's spotlights turn your way.
Stage 2: Gain access to the Embassy. Rappel from the roof and crash through unguarded windows, keeping out of terrorists gunsights.
Stage 3: Locate the hostages. Heavily armed terrorists control all three floors and must be neutralized before they can open fire.
Stage 4: Bring the hostages to safety. Their families - and the nation - are counting on you to succeed in this life-or-death operation.
Features:
- Control of six Assault Force team members
- Three difficulty levels, plus a training mission without hostages
- Superb graphics and sound effects
- Action, strategy, and suspense
