Story

Various sectors of a military group report being attacked by some of their own war machines and that a terrorist organization led by a man named Rattlesnake is at the center of each attack. A commando and vehicle specialist code-named Storm is assigned to enter each affected area and progressively stop Rattlesnake's ambitions.

Gameplay

Players controlled Storm through five long missions; the object was to go through each level collecting weapons and ammunition to survive long enough to defeat the end-level boss. The story progressed at the beginning of each stage as Storm's communications officer, Jessica, informed him of where to go next. Players could hold up to and could switch between two firearms and could hold a certain amount of hand grenades; the player could also collect armor which was necessary as Storm was very weak (A single combat knife wound would take off twenty points of Storm's health).

The players had no Score or Extend/Extra life bonuses. A Game Over would occur if Storm lost all his health during the mission and the player would need to restart the mission from the beginning. Players could start and save their own profiles, but it was necessary to beat the first level before the player could save any progress. Occasionally, Storm would commandeer a vehicle section, though this mostly happened at the beginning of and at the game's climax.
