ALIENS OF THE EVIL EMPIRE

The leaders of the free world have been imprisoned by an evil, warmongering army from an alien empire! Having squandered their own natural resources for the purposes of death and destruction, they now want to dominate the Earth and capture its abundance--to restore life to their barren planet.

GAME PLAY: To save the world, you and Super Joe, the ultimate Commando, must challenge the enemy in fierce guerilla warfare deep within a hostile, unexplored jungle. Armed only with a rifle and limited hand grenades, you must rescue the hostages, defeat the insane alien commander, and destroy his evil army. After a harrowing helicopter landing, you and Super Joe must advance as quickly as possible through four increasingly difficult levels. Hidden bonuses give you some advantages but poisonous snakes lie in wait and the ruthless enemy attacks you with guns, knives and grenade launchers. Can you and Super Joe carry out this mission impossible? Time alone will tell.
