About

In Freedom Force, Rad Rex and his partner Manic Jackson are part of an elite counter-terrorism unit. Their mission is to save the hostages in a hijacked plane by killing all the Bagmen. After they successfully take back control of the plane, they must work their way back through the airport and streets to take out the guerrilla's hideout and get to their leader, Eugene Extreme. Freedom Force is a light gun game that is played with the Nintendo Zapper. The goal of the game is to kill all of the bad guys without losing all of Rad's health or killing too many hostages or civilians. Foes and innocents alike appear through doors and windows as well as from behind objects, leaving very little time to think about whether to shoot the target or not. There are 5 levels in total (Aeroplane, Gangway, Airport Terminal, Street, and Hideout) and the 4 different types of weapons that enemies have are guns (single shot), machine guns (one burst inflicts about a quarter health of damage), grenades (instant kill but can be shot in the air), and missiles (faster than grenades). To help the player, an icon that they must shoot to activate can appear quickly in the lower left corner of the screen, representing health, ammo, a gun, a grenade launcher (kills everyone at once, not recommended with hostages and civilians around), or a harder difficulty (more enemies). A two-player mode is available with the second player playing Manic Jackson and the two players taking turns. There is also a hangman mini-game that is played between every two levels where the player must shoot the correct letter when it is lit up.
