Hurricanes is based on the 90's TV show which aired in Scotland. Unlike the Game Gear version, not only can you choose Cal, but also Rude, Stats, and Amanda as you make your way through 15 levels. These levels include a jungle, an airport, an Aztec temple, a train, a gymnasium, and a haunted house. Your only means of defense is a soccer ball. You can get a temporary upgrade for your soccer ball by kicking it into differently colored slots around the level.

Music
Hurricanes' music is a mixed bag. Some of the songs are good and the rest are just annoying since all songs are just constant loops with minor variations thrown in. Most of the songs are lengthy, but that's only because the minor variations being repeated extends its length. There is also an unused song. It sounds like it was intended for the cutscenes since there's no music. It could have also been intended as another stage theme. Andi McGinty (of Johnny Bazookatone fame) may have wrote MIDI files which were converted to Arc's custom sound engine.

While the game has credits, it doesn't credit the composer. We have contacted staff at Arc Developments who verified that Andi McGinty is the composer. Andi is credited in the Game Gear version, which shares a song. The game also uses a unique sound driver not used in any other game. According to one of the developers, Derrick Owens programmed the sound driver, possibly with Chris Coupe or Julian Scott.
