Counter Measure
Terrorists have seized control of several missile silos and are planning
on launching missiles to blow up Washington D.C. Your job is to stop
them! From a top down point of view, you control a tank over varied,
scrolling terrain. To stop the missiles, you have two options: you can
destroy all of the missiles, or attempt to guess the fail safe code. If
you try to destroy all the missiles, you must do so in under ten
minutes. The missiles silos have many defenses which the terrorists also
control; pillboxes, tanks, jeeps, and cruise missiles are all capable
of destroying your tank. Should you attempt to guess the fail safe code,
clues can be found by docking at supply depots. The code is three
letters long, and can consist of any combination of L, E and O. When you
enter a war room, you have a very short time to enter the code
correctly or the missiles will launch. When the missiles have been
stopped (by either means), the level is complete and you continue on to
the next, more difficult round.
