Plot

A plane filled with terrorists attempting to steal money from a treasury plane while airborne is shot down by an FBI plane. The terrorists survive and send out a distress signal, which the main character, Gabe, responds to. However, Gabe does not know that the mayday signal is coming from a group of terrorists, and after reaching them, the terrorists capture Gabe's partner, Hal, and hold him hostage. Gabe must then set out and retrieve the money in order to save Hal.

Versions

There are major gameplay differences between the 16-bit and 8-bit versions of the game. The Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES and Mega-CD/Sega CD versions are almost identical and feature gameplay similar to street brawlers like Double Dragon and Final Fight. The Mega-CD/Sega CD version contains a 3D snowboarding sequence where the player has to escape from an avalanche. Otherwise the gameplay on the 16-Bit systems is the same across the board. The NES, Game Boy and Game Gear versions however contain lower resolution graphics and a simpler side scrolling gameplay.
