“Every great war deserves a great game.”
	- Anon.  

Inspired by such films as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, and the book, Chicken Hawk, Missing in Action is a third-person-viewed shoot ‘em up that allows the player take to the skies in a variety of period attack helicopters and return to Vietnam for a piece of the action. Piloting such classic craft as the Loach, Chinook, Cobra and Huey, the player is tasked to complete four major military campaigns - based upon actual operations carried out by the US forces in the Vietnam war. 

Broken down into over 26 widely varied missions, these operations we be realised with the use of a stunning 3D engine as well as explanatory video clips and text briefs, and will include recon missions, seek-and-destroy, assault missions, escorts, and what the Huey was famous for, personnel transport into hotspots. 

Along the way you’ll be able to equip yourself with some serious ordinance - and you’ll need it too! All manner of hostile encounter awaits you, including enemy convoys, scout patrols, boats and even trains to be derailed and blown to pieces. And there’s worse still... hostile livestock line the horizon tempting you to waste that last missile... Nasty!

Radio messages within the game maintain the atmosphere and follow the flavour of the movie clips, continuing the flow of the plot and adding greatly to the seamless structure of presentation and gameplay. Other notable effects include realistic weather and environments creating a believable world to immerse 
yourself in.
