Game Story
The year is 2525. The United Nations are the target for a major covert attack
by terrorists. Their devious intentions are to destabilize defense systems and
to overthrow the allied governments. This covert action is the evil demise of
the international terrorist known as "X".
The CIA has just received information which indicates that "X" is near comp-
letion of an ultimate war weapon which will enable him to begin his attack.
The CIA has sent out their best agents in order to undermine his criminal
espionage but all have failed. Finally, they call upon rookie agent Rachel
(Code HE03) who has been specially trained in international espionage. Much
time passes and she has not yet returned. For fear that "X" has her in his
evil grasp, the CIA calls on an unofficial agent in a last desperate attempt
to save the world from utter chaos. This agent's code name is SSH "Super Spy
Hunter".

Using your Weapons
Car Stages
There are two types of weapons vehicles: Blue and Red. Red weapon vehicles
supply power. Blue weapon vehicles supply special attack items. Weapon vehic-
les will appear on the screen periodically throughout the levels. To obtain
an item from the weapon vehicle, shoot at it until it is destroyed. Once the
weapon vehicle is destroyed, it will release a weapon capsule and the player
must pick up the capsule in order to obtain the item and use it to defeat the
enemy.
Boat Stages
You must rely only on your bullets, skill and wit to defeat your enemies. No
weapon vehicles are available during these stages.
Plane Stages
Only Red weapon items (power) will be available.
