Plot

Madman Ivan Retovitz rips off an arsenal of Soviet nuclear weapons and threatens to transform the world into a radioactive desert. As the leader of three covert commandos, you must pilot the AH-64B Apache fighter chopper and traverse the underground bunkers to destroy this nuclear madman.

Software attributes

The game, although obscure, is notable for using a number of technologies that were not normally prevalent at the time on a console such as the Megadrive/Genesis.
