[edit] Description
Players take on the role of a covert operative working to liberate a small chain of islands from its oppressive rulers. The missions are generally open-ended, allowing the player to approach them in whatever fashion is desired. Each island has different objectives, and the order in which these are tackled is up to the player.
The game attempts to create a detailed world by providing a number of different characters and different vehicles that the player can interact with. Vehicles include land, air, and sea vessels, although all of them control in more or less the same basic manner. The graphics are relatively rudimentary 3D, although typical for the time period.
