Any time, any place, the paras are ready for action! Dropped behind enemy lines, you must take command of F Platoon and yomp your men across dangerous enemy highways and a closely guarded minefield to reach your objective and succeed in this top secret mission. Determine just how tough your mission will be by selecting your rank from private to colonel, then start to guide your men, one by one, across the enemy highways - dodging the fast-moving enemy jeeps and troop vehicles. There's no turning back now! When three men are safely across, activate your radar scanner to direct them across the enemy minefield. Beware, an armed sentry is on patrol! Guide them carefully across the deadly terrain, but watch out, for the enemy has placed 'movement sensors' in the minefield, and if you bump into the trees or fence too often the mines may be triggered! If you successfully get your unit across, you are allocated three more paras to re-inforce your platoon. The going gets tough, but you can't afford to lose your nead now. The success of the mission depends on you!
A review in Crash Magazine was not very positive about the game:
You are supposed to 'yomp* your Paras over the highway and then get them through a minefield. There's no disguising the fact that this is a frogger game with 'mlned-out' pretensions. The basic program makes controlling movement very difficult and the way the traffic moves along the highway makes it almost unplayable. Only one moment in the repeating cycle can get your men through safely, in the minefield movement sensors mean sudden death through mistakes, but I wonder how many people will even bother getting there? Four skill levels, no joystick option.
The minefield level includes a patrolling guard and a radar map showing you the mine locations. You need to get 3 of your 5 paratroopers across the road and 1 paratrooper across the minefield. Crossing the minefield rewards you with 3 more paratroopers and you repeat the game to accumulate a best score.
