S.A.S: OPERATION THUNDERFLASH!! By Mark Rivers Rock Hardman is the leader of a crack team of SAS Stormtroops. His mission is to spearhead an attack on a foreign embassy, rescuing hostages who have been seized by an extreme and vicious group of terrorists led by the notorious Kred. It is Rock's toughest assignment yet! Each room is a challenge, each terrorist a threat and each footstep an obstacle to overcome. Only cunning, skill, determination and force will succeed in conquering these symbols of subversion. Be warned though, this game is no push-over. You will have to be quick on turn and deadly accurate when confronted by your opponents. You will find your game playing abilities stretched to the limit and every ounce of skill will be needed. You will have to be as tough as the everyday SAS man – Can you handle the pace?... Time will tell!!

They may be held anywhere in the embassy, on the ground floor, upstairs or in the cellar. Lifts are used to move between levels. Once you have found and released all hostages and eliminated all terrorists, you must exit by the main doors at the front of the building. You are equipped with an armour piercing, high velocity weapon designed to eradicate subversives effectively and cleanly. Do not allow any targets to survive. You are limited in time; for each footstep you take you lose points from your score – points are gained by shooting terrorists and releasing hostages. Your score starts at 100, be careful to allow yourself enough steps to escape. -------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE TO PROGRAMMERS We are always keen to hear from up and coming programmers who would like to see their game published.
