Description
Get out of the way! A nuclear missile carrier is out of control on a one way-set path, and unless that path is cleared, it will explode as soon as it makes contact with anything, destroying the world. It is up to you to clear the path so that nothing gets in the way of the Carrier.
Blast Corps is a mix of an action and a puzzle game where destruction is key. At the start of each level you are given a certain vehicle (ranging from robotic suits, trucks, or bulldozers), and are told to clear the path for the Carrier. You need to use your heavy-duty equipment to destroy any buildings, structures, or monuments that stand in the path of the Carrier. The difficulty increases as you progress, though. Smaller vehicles don't affect certain buildings, and sometimes its not even a building that's in the way. You must use the resources around you to clear the path. You may need a train flatbed to fill a gap, or a crane to move boxes out of the way. But remember, the Carrier is always moving, so once you're done destroying one obstruction, you need to get to the next fast. While your on your quest, you must also find the six scientists scattered throughout the globe to form a think-tank to solve the problem. The Carrier has to leave Earth, and it's your job to ensure that it does!
Blast Corps also features many secrets to find. Besides clearing each path for the Carrier, you can go back to a level once ts over to take your time and explore. To fully complete a level, you must also find RDU's (Radiation Dispersal Units) which light up on the ground when the player gets in close proximity. You must also destroy all of the buildings, and rescue all of the homeless civilians, which is done by the T-chopper that accompanies you on every mission. There are also dozens of secret time trial levels that can be found by activating special satellite dishes hidden throughout the levels. Get all of the secrets to get a second medal on the level, and when you have all of the gold medals, the developers have a tiny message in store for you...

Trivia
The game's unfortunate original title was Bull 64, from which it progressed through Heavy Duty Heroes, the truncated Heavy Duty, Blast Radius, Power Dozer and BlastDozer (which encountered copyright problems outside Japan) to the Blast Corps of today.
