About this game

Matt sets out for the moon where he must overcome the defences of V.E.N.O.M.'s base, rescue his son and steal a rocket back to earth. In his quest he is helped by special masks that give him special powers. For example one mask will give Matt the ability to shoot bullets others will allow him to fly, pass through solid objects, float across bodies of water, have temporary invulnerability and so on. However, Matt can only carry four masks and can only use one mask at a time. Each mask has just 99 units of energy, or bullets, and this number is reduced each time the mask is used so eventually the mask will need replacing.

Matt Trakker receives a message oh the MASK computer - "We have kidnapped Scott Trakker and are holding him to ransom on the moon. Unless you surrender your entire forces to Venom, you will never see him again. Signed Miles Mayhem." Matt is faced with a terrible dilemma. To agree to VENOM'S demands would give them total control over the Peaceful Nations Alliance, but to ignore their demands would surely mean Scott's life. Can you, as Matt Trakker, rescue Scott and return him safely to Earth?
