The player takes on the role of a pilot for an "AT1196 Steel Talons combat helicopter." The game's helicopter is equipped with a machine gun, rockets, and a limited number of air-to-surface guided missiles. Several missions are available for play. Completing early missions unlocks later missions.

The Illustration for the package was created by Marc Ericksen for Atari Lynx in 1988. It was released in 1991 and it is in the simulator genre. The shape allows it to stand horizontal and it holds medium resolution for the two 25 inch monitor that allows one screen for each player. It is a multiplayer game. In the single-player mode, the player tries adventures through 19 various computer simulated missions. In the two player mode, two players may work together in the simulation world, or they may choose to go at combat with each other where the mission objective is to destroy the other player.

There is a joystick, and analog collective lever, an analog with two buttons, and rudder pedals.
