Nintendo 64 WinBack Covert Operations USA
2StoryIn the beginning, an terrorist group called "Crying Lions" takes control of a space based laser weapon. This is used to attack a military installation housing the controls to the weapon, called the GULF system. The leader of the terrorists calls himself Colonel Kenneth Coleman. The Secretary of Defense contacts the Special Covert Action Team (SCAT) with their orders: Enter the GULF complex and reclaim it. Jean-Luc Cougar is part of the team, and the last to escape the helicopter being shot down. The player takes control of Jean-Luc as he leaps a wall and enters a parking lot. The team is scattered throughout the complex and you must find them and destroy the satellite control center before the GULF satellite laser destroys several places in the US. Along the way you will face a number of laser traps, puzzles, machine gun nests, ambushes and mazes. You will face bosses culminating in a semi final boss fight. If the players are quick enough in the levels during the main story mode or use cheat codes, they will unlock the bosses and several other characters as multiplayer characters.
There are two possible Endings, depending on how long it takes Jean-Luc to reach the control room:
Good Ending: Upon reaching the satellite control room, Jean-Luc encounters Dan. Jean discovers Dan's reasons for his betrayal of the team and the deaths of your comrades. It turns out that he was half Saroczian and at the age of 13, war broke out in the country. Splitting his family in two, his mother and sister defected to Russia while his brother and father joined the Saroczian Revolution. Several years later after the separation, he joined the Army and was eventually sent on a mission by the US Forces to keep the government in power by quashing the revolution supported by a majority of the people. The mission was carried out but Dan was filled with regrets which he says fate was responsible for. He also met his brother, Kenneth Coleman, leader of the Crying Lions who fought to end the suffering of the Saroczian people and avenge his father's death. After some talking Dan is shot and killed by Jean-Luc. Cecile fights one last battle against Jean-Luc and is killed while Lisa comes to discover that Cecile is dead. The GULF satellite is destroyed as Keith, Lisa and Jean-Luc escape, with Operation Winback ending in success.
Bad Ending: Jean-Luc finds both Lisa and Jake dead in the generator room, killed by Cecile Carlyle. Upon reaching the satellite control room, Jean-Luc finds Cecile waiting for him. Cecile tells Jean-Luc that he was too late, the satellite has already fired twice, destroying the Pentagon and White house. Jean-Luc kills Cecile and goes to the communications room to find Kenneth Coleman, pleased that his "objective" and "cause" was a success. After some talk, Kenneth shoots himself. Jean-Luc and Keith are the only survivors of Operation Winback, which is ultimately a failure.
