'''''Seek
[[Zeerust|It's the far-off future year of 1998,]] following a nuclear [[World War III]]. You are are one of the last [[Universal Driver's License|Vehicular Combat Troopers]] of the [[Yanks With Tanks|North American Armed Forces,]] on a mission to destroy various bases belonging to an unnamed, but ''very'' well-equipped South American faction. Whilst [[Memetic Mutation|in their base killing their dudes]], you sometimes must also rescue ''your'' dudes who the enemy has [[Hostage Situation|taken hostage]], drop off and pick up a saboteur, and other objectives. You are usually tasked with destroying a specific target, but there's [[Unstoppable Rage|nothing stopping you from wiping the entire base off the map.]]
You have the option of using either an [[Cool Plane|Apache attack helicopter]] or an unidentified ([[Cool Tank|but awesome]]) battle tank, each with distinct weaponry. The Apache has six weapon bays and the tank four, as well as a separate "special" weapon bay, of which there are three unique ones for either vehicle. These bays can be reconfigured before each mission to hold different amounts of ammunition for each weapon, though the first bay always has the [[Emergency Weapon|chain gun.]] You could have a whole bunch of ammo for one weapon or limited ammo but lots of different weapons, or any combination thereof. You can also tweak the specs of your craft, tipping it towards [[Mighty Glacier]] or [[Fragile Speedster]] as per your play style.

* [[Danger Deadpan]]: Your pilot occasionally speaks, and he is most definitely this. Other characters, presumably support staff, are also this.
* [[Emergency Weapon]]: The basic chain gun does little damage, but has [[Bottomless Magazines|unlimited ammo]] and both vehicles always have it equipped. It can be upgraded from near-useless to viable secondary weapon.

* [[Exploding Barrels]]: [[Up to Eleven|Even better]]: exploding fuel dumps and [[Nuke'Em|nuclear storage containers.]]
* [[Wizard Needs Food Badly|Helicopter Needs Fuel Badly]]: Both vehicles have a limited supply of fuel. If you run out, [[Critical Existence Failure|you blow up.]] You can find more fuel in the field, however, as a [[Power-Up]]. If you find a fuel pickup just before you run out (Or find an armor pickup when near death) your pilot says, "Just in time." The tank is slightly more fuel-efficient then the Apache.
