Half of the city is left in ruins, and it is in that part of town that the marginals and rodents, hunted by the state police, seek refuge. Paradoxically, the other half of the city consists of lavish mansions, where the most important drug barons reside. Unfortunately, they are the ones who run the city and thanks to the enormous profits they make from their drugs and arms dealings, they have succeeded in destabelizing the country's economy. The U.S. government finds itself in the middle of a terrible crisis, now that they have lost complete control over the city. The C.I.A., headed up by John Steven, has been called upon to clean up the city of its villains. The plan is to reorganize the city by placing security check-points at strategic positions. The operation was set into motion on April 4, and quickly proved to be an unprecedented success. The badly organised, smaller streetgangs, were greatly outnumbered and were no match for the extremely well armed law enforcement troops. On the 7 th of May, during a successful raid, the state police's special branch took possession of an enormous arsenal of weapons and amunition, valued at over 2 million dollars. This raid marked an important stage in the whole operation. Realising the sticky situation they were in, the heads of organised crime now started making plans for themselves: They needed to re-establish their control over the city and above all, secure their takings. On May 15, they staged the kidnapping of John Steven in order to get the names of his lieutenants in the C.I.A.'s fight against organised crime. This way they are convinced they can stay in control of the situation and become even more powerful. YOUR MISSION Your mission starts at the spot where John Steven was last seen. You are deposited by helicopter accompanied only by your Magnum 357 and Black Virgin , your magnificent black panther, especially trained for your protection. You'll have to travel through the various parts of the city, in search of the hostage, and you will find that your street fighting skills will prove to be very useful. In each part of the city, you will confront various enemies and their gangleaders. Once you reach your destination, you must rescue John Steven and safely escort him back to the helicopter. Pay attention: Steven's fighting skills are nonexistant, and his physical condition is no match to yours! If he dies during the return journey, then that means the drug barons are one step closer towards victory.
