Barhan 88
Pixel art for today based on videogame Urban Strike for game console Sega MegaDrive. It is rather cool videogame about a helicopter in a hot zones. In a pseudo realism places. But it is action and almost a simulation – it is very exciting.
And this is my drawing about the same theme. It is also a shooter about a helicopter. Such an attack, assault style. Pseudo real. Series of Strike gives you a its own story. This gives a pseudo real story about Afghanistan. I say it again - it is pseudo real. Based on. But pseudo real. Operation Barhan 88.
Helicopter group A1-A10 goes in a first phase, you are a pilot, one from this group. It is before your eyes now – a desert region. Ancient world. With a story behind about a centuries. And with its own tradition. Country taking apart with conflicts about a centuries. East – tricky thing. It is own ideas and way to see the world. Which is hard to take into account.
From a territory of a near country, from a border it is going a groups of action terrorists. And big conflict is in a near time to begin. If not to make this special operation. Secret. And fast. First phase – 10 groups of helicopters. Fast to attack positions of terrorists at the country borders. In the desert.
Different religious groups and political inside the country will very different react when it comes about to news about what is going on. If everything will be all right- then it will never go to the world news.
All of these – it is possible not become a news. Because of it will end fast. In other case country will go into protest actions and remove the government. Civil war. And push into the conflict or nearby countries. Long time run conflict. War. With unexpected final for everyone.
From a territory of a nearby country it is active process of transport of modern weapons for terrorists. Rockets, tanks, technics, weapons. It is active process of training terrorists.
Region is in desert, and low interest for everyone. But it is a place for training terrorists, camps of training at the desert. Store of weapons are here. And it is a road for transport roads for weapons and armies.
As a first task you will to destroy several transport roads. In a desert. And destroy transport of machines. And find several camps of training. They are equipped with tanks and anti air missiles. Rocket launchers. And yes, they do not have aviation. But they can do active answer about your presence from land territory. Including rockets. Which they have and ready.
As a second task you will return to a secret base, that was constructed very fast. And you will receive a future instructions.
Desert – it is sand. But a desert can be different. There is a enter for a sea. And little oasis. Each part of desert has its own character.
From a sea side a nearby country it is already has several of ships in the region. For rocket strike. Also including at you. And no one knows about that you are here. And when they get this idea – no one will be happy about this.
Inside the country itself there are different groups. Well good equipped with firearms. And having their own aims. And you will need to deal with them too. It is very different groups. For government. And also, in opposition.
Final result it is will a stop of conflict, stop fire phase at the phase of beginning. And to destroy all the groups inside the country. And some dialog with nearby countries.
That’s why you are here. You are making your international duty. In a world of sands and desert. Maybe you can see a desert for a first time in your life. And rarely it will be a home for you. But it is – a thing, that you have a battle task. International scale.
This is based on series of games Strike (desert strike, urban strike) and in spirit of writer Tom Clancy something like that I compose. So, maybe one time, to write this plan a book. It is about sometime.
