Description
When there's a hideous alien race, mad terrorist army, or just some general madman scumball to be eliminated, there's only one team to do the job: the Hard Corps.
Now some madman military commander has stolen an alien cell; a remainder of the Alien Wars. He plans on using the cell to resurrect and clone Red Falcon, the most dangerous alien ever to exist! If he wins, the world as we know it is history!
The Hard Corps must stop his plans from being set into motion and destroy that alien cell before the Earth is destroyed!

Trivia
During the sound test, you can find a tune named
Simon 1994 AD. This is actually a hyped-up, overhauled version of
Vampire Killer from
Konami's
Castlevania!
There is also a secret area in level 3 (The Junkyard), where you must fight three robots. One of them is a super-deformed Simon Belmont-like robot! Right before he comes out, he whips a candle that gives him a fish, which he uses like a boomerang.
