The story of this game is placed at the back of the box art. The year is 1997, and the new World War is beginning. You are a pilot of AH-64 Apache helicopter through streets of enemy tanks and helicopters (in the cut scenes, some real towns like Novgorod are mentioned, and the russian ordotox church is speering on the box - is this a war between Russia and USA?). You must defeat your enemy and your target, the Strategic Defense Computer (SDC), with your guns and rockets, to save the world from nuclear destruction.

But the true 3D engine, which is better than in [[Apache Strike (C64)|C64]] and [[Apache Strike (MAC)|MAC]] releases, make this game really advanced than the most game of this time.

The game contains only one track - modified version of [[Vultan's Theme (Attack of the Hawk Men)|Vultan's Theme]] by [[Queen]].
