About this game
Drive a jeep through enemy territory on a rescue mission. Steer in eight directions, fire the machine gun and use grenades or the upgraded bazooka to face hostile forces. Shooting is only part of the task: destroy barracks to release prisoners, then pull alongside to collect them. Carry the rescued people to a heliport for evacuation before continuing the mission. Two players can drive at the same time, combining the shooting with shared responsibility for reaching and retrieving prisoners.
