Summary
In Firepower 2000 you commandeer either a heavily‑armed helicopter gunship or a rugged armoured jeep as part of the elite SPECIAL WEAPONS INTERDICTION VEHICLES squad. The game scrolls vertically, throwing wave after wave of enemy aircraft, hovercraft, snowmobiles, and even bizarre foes like mechanised flying fish and giant weapons installations at you. Each stage forces you to balance aggressive firepower with deft maneuvering, because the enemy field contains the dreaded SILWORM IV homing missile, a relentless tracker that can wipe you out in a single hit. Power‑ups drop occasionally, giving you extra rockets or shield boosts, but they’re scarce, so timing your attacks matters. The relentless pace and vivid sprites keep the experience intense, delivering the classic arcade feel many retro fans still crave.
Storyline
Firepower 2000 drops you into a covert operation against a hidden underground race that has taken over an isolated island in the mid‑Atlantic Ocean. This secret faction has raided military depots worldwide, stealing top‑secret vehicles and equipment and re‑engineering them into massive war machines. The machines are piloted by autonomous robots whose sole purpose is destruction. Global military and intelligence agencies have detected the threat but fear they lack the means to stop a full‑scale assault. Consequently, they task you with infiltrating the island’s base, neutralising the robotic war rigs, and preventing the underground race from unleashing a worldwide conflict.
