Hoverforce

Hoverforce takes place in the year 2050 where enemies known as ‘alterants’
have taken control of the city by distributing mind controlling drugs. You
play with a 3-D view from a hovercraft in an attempt to destroy all alterants
and stop the drug runs they make.

The story is slightly different in Resolution 101. This game is set in the
USA in the city of Las Envegas. Crime is rife and law enforcement just cannot
cope so in 2038 a new law, Resolution 101, was passed which allows convicted
felons to be released from jail in return for tracking down and eliminating
gangland bosses.

The player takes the role of one of these ‘Search and Destroy’ criminals. They
are given a Theta 4000 ground skimmer armed with a light machine gun and they
play their way through a series of increasingly difficult levels. Each level
starts with a meeting with the sheriff who names the new target. After that
the player is in their skimmer patrolling the streets shooting things, not
mind controlled alterants but the drug runner’s henchmen and gangland minions
(same sprites different names).

The city of Las Envegas is divided into four areas each of which is controlled
by a separate drug runner. The during the course of the game’s twelve levels
the player must defeat each runner three times in order to finally kill them.
The runners have minions who will attack the player as they pursue their quest
for justice / freedom. As these are destroyed they leave behind cash and drugs
that can be collected, the drugs must be collected as evidence.

As a further complication the drug runner only makes a few runs through the
city in each level so the player must collect the evidence and shoot them down
before the last run is complete, otherwise the sheriff will be displeased and
the player will lose a life. Around the city are three shops where the player
can upgrade weapons, and repair shields or their skimmer.
