Description
Don't wait till you see the whites of their eyes...
Don't kid yourself it will be over by Christmas...
Don't try to shut out the screams...
And don't forget to wash your hands afterwards...

From a queue of some 360 "eager" conscripts waiting to go to war, a team of up to six will "volunteer" for each new mission. Encourage your soldiers to shoot anything that moves, throw grenades, fire bazookas, drive tanks, fly choppers, split up and do their own thing... and die... Guide your no-hoper's troop straight through deadly missions. And if you lose some of them? There's more where that came from...

FEATURES:

  • Easy interface means non-stop carnage
  • 360 fresh-faced recruits anxiously awaiting your direct orders to shoot to kill, throw grenades, drive tanks, fly choppers, divide and conquer or run around in circles and take each other out with friendly fire
  • 24 bullet spraying missions with 72 levels
  • All the great sound effects like jungle noises, booming explosions, distant copter rotors and some poor soldier's dying screams
  • Five types of enemies including M-16 carrying grunts, snipers, copter commandos, jeep engineers and artillery hot shots
  • Guide your motley crew over hill n' dale, through jungles, freezing cold wastelands and Africa-hot deserts, annihilating the enemy and blowing up buildings on the way
  • Use shameless flattery and brute force to work your way up the ranks from private to four-star general
  • 8 minute cartoon introduction
