For many years, the countries of the Middle East have been in a state of economic and social ruin due to violent civil war. While the rest of the world demanded an end to the bloodshed, evil arms dealers had little trouble infiltrating each country's volatile government with false promises of wealth and power. Now united, and with revolutionary new weapons, this corrupt alliance could dash all hopes for world peace in an instant.

The only obstacle between harmony and anarchy is UN Squadron,a multi-national force, flying the latest aerial fire power.

When playing you will earn money you can use on buying different types of weapons and shields before every level.

If you have a Spectrum with k-mouse interface and a CRT TV you got a very good game here. The graphics in this game is made so it triggers the artifact colors in a CRT TV, so you get a nice colorful shooter. The game plays well with mouse control, but it does not benefit from extra mouse speed as the screen is mostly packed with enemies all of the time, and if you try to make quick moves your plane will also move quite jerky.

This is a shooter with tons of enemies to shoot, lots of stuff going on all the time, and with nice colorful graphics, though some of the levels is a bit monochromish. Lots of levels, lots of stuff to buy and upgrades to collect, lots of boss fights!

The game features 2-player co operative mode, and so does the mouse driver, so you can enable k-mouse as master and slave, and both you and your friend can play this game with mouse control.

This review goes for this special mouse version made by Velesoft + CRT TV, anything else will only show the levels with monochrome graphics.
The game was published by US Gold Ltd in 1990.
