Operation Secret Storm

Operation Secret Storm is an action-oriented NES game where players control a secret agent named George B. (potentially a caricature of United States President George H. W. Bush) as he fights the Iraqi army. The game relies on Beat 'em up style combat mechanics on a 2D plane. The character collects ammunition and grenades while travelling through Iraq and defeating stereotypical Arabic enemies.
