Description
When the diplomats are done talking, when the world's armies and navies
can only impotently rattle their nuclear sabres, there's only one thing
to do. The governments of the Free World turn to the highly trained men
(and women) of the Mayday Squad.
The Mayday Squad, established by the United Nations Security Council to
directly meet the menace of international terrorism, is composed of three-
men teams of commandos. While all team members share certain qualities,
including a high level of athletic ability, courage and tenacity, each also
possesses specialized skills. By effectively blending their areas of
expertise, the Mayday Squad succeeds where the mass might of mega-powers
falls short.
This computer game is the story of one of the Mayday Squad's most perilous
missions. The player takes command of the three-man Mayday Squad, which
must force its way into what remains of the Lutonian Embassy.
Somewhere inside the building, the teenage daughter of the Lutonian
- More (Y)/N/NS? ns Ambassador cowers in a small room. When The Red Legion,
a previously unknown band of fanatics, raided and sacked the embassy, she
hid in an out-of-the-way room rather than fall into the hands of the
international terrorists.
Though she is temporarily safe, The Red Legion is combing the three floors
of the Lutonian Embassy for hostages and booty. Even if they don't find
the girl, the Red Legion has threatened to blow up the Embassy at sundown
if their demands are not met. And the Lutonians, a stiff-necked people,
have no intention of budging an inch.
The Mayday Squad has two missions. A commander may complete either and earn
a measure of credit, but only rescuing the Ambassador's daughter and
blowing up The Red Legion leaders (before they blow the building and escape
via a rooftop helicopter) to earn a Special Commendation and Total Victory
Parade.
Mayday Squad is a modified first-person perspective game. It mixes quick
thinking and blazing combat. In it, the computerist controls a three-
person commando team in a life-or-death race against a deadline. The
Mayday Squad must assault an embassy captured by a band of international
terrorists called The Red Legion.
Prior to the actual start of play, the computerist receives a Mission
Briefing. An Option Screen allows the player to select three commandos
to form the Mayday Squad. Although each character has abilities similar
to other commandos of the same type, there are slight individual
differences in performance - and, of course, each man and woman has a
distinctive physical appearance.
The computerist uses the controller (or keyboard) to direct this group of
three characters during the mission. The three members of the Mayday
Squad, shown from a vantage point just behind the group, advance up halls
and corridors, climb and descend staircases, ride elevators, search rooms,
hunt for secret doors and stairways and fight the enemy wherever
encountered.
The computerist controls one member of the squad at a time. A simple
command system allows the player to switch control from character to
character as the requirements of the mission dictate. The computer guides
the actions of the two men not under the player's direct control.
Each member of the Mayday Squad possesses special skills which the gamer
must take into account during the mission if it is to be a success. Split
second decisions about which man to control directly in each situation
build tension and excitement in this thrilling action-combat saga.
