The rules were simple, survive 100 battles and you'd go free. Die 50 times and you'd receive a lethal dose of poison administered by the game, as war must always have consequences. Take on a Special Mission and you'll gain 1 extra life, mission credits and valuable power-ups and special weapons.
Only the rules have changed. The European High Command has decreed that soldiers who hit 49 deaths are to be kept permanently in the game. The 49ers is a regiment of last chancers, their commander, iColonel Ron Clark, is desperate to keep his people alive, and give them one last chance.
