The enemy hordes are countless and consist of numerous aircrafts of different sizes and powers. You must cover your back and beware for your nation's future is now in your hands.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Athena Co did a great job to this game. The SNES shows some "teeth" in terms of graphics and sound. The graphics are fantastic, featuring numerous colors on screen and a very fast -and particularly smooth- animation, with dozens of sprites simultaneously on screen. The sound effect are quite solid but the element that makes this game unique is its music scores. From the intro music to the in-game paranoia, if you connect your SNES with a stereo audio source you will witness a bunch of awesome techno-style music scores (resembling 2 Unlimited's songs!!)
