Operation Wolf

Alone, you’re tasked with sneaking into enemy territory armed solely with a machine gun and rocket-propelled grenades. Your objective is to rescue the captives, ensure their safety, and guide them to the evacuation site. The operation goes by the name ‘Operation Wolf’.

Operation Thunderbolt

As a gamer, I’m ready to embark on an exhilarating adventure once again! This time, it’s a daring hostage rescue operation in Africa, and only one man – the legendary Roy Adams from Operation Wolf – is our beacon of hope. But this time, he’s not alone! His trusted former Green Beret comrade, Hardy Jones, is joining forces with him. My mission code: Operation Thunderbolt. Impossible odds? Not for these fearless fighters!

Night Striker

Join the elite United Nations Special Action Force, known as Night Striker, and eliminate the dangerous terrorist group using your rapid-combat hovercraft: Intergray! (In simpler terms, you’ll be part of an elite UN team called Night Striker. Your mission is to destroy a harmful terrorist organization with the help of your high-speed combat hovercraft, named Intergray.)

Space Gun

2039 AD: The Era of Cosmic Discovery. As part of an elite space marine unit, I embark on a mission to probe a mysterious event at a space station. Suddenly, we’re hit with an SOS from a drifting cargo vessel. Little did we expect the nightmares that awaited us within! Armed with my versatile rifle, I brace myself for battle against terrifying creatures and strive to save the trapped souls aboard!
