It is the year 2026 and your country is now being controlled by a corrupt government who, unaware to the people, controls the media. You play the part of Guy Freelander who, with a group of pro-democracy rebels, has stolen a videotape that contains an illegal meeting between government officials and the Astralnet Broadcasting Company.
Your objective is to break into the central broadcasting studio and play the tape so that the whole country can see it. One problem, the studio is hidden inside of an office building known as "The Arena." Since the building is so heavily guarded most people believe that, if breaking in is even possible, only a single person might be able to penetrate the defenses. So who is going to try and save the country from a lifetime of corruption? Of course that person would be you, Guy Freelander.
You will need to navigate your way through 19 mazes filled with security guards, androids, and mutants. After every fourth level you will receive a password so that you don't have to win the game in one sitting.
