About The Game

In 2001, development began on an ambitious Game Boy Advance game that would have shown the full potential of the handheld console with its unique 3d voxel engine. Based on a hugely popular science fiction franchise, the game was unfortunately cancelled before it could be fully completed. Now, experience this enhanced revival of this forgotten game. Elland, a harsh desert world on the outskirts of the Galaxy. With nothing but scant indigenous life, the planet is controlled by the cooperative Elland Inc., which mines the abundant minerals and crystals used in the construction of galactic star cruisers. The mining operations and the abundance of Brem-Nar crystals have transformed Elland from a dusty wasteland into a glittering and much envied prize. Notorious for its precipitation, the neighboring world of Mank is home to the headquarters of the Trafford Corporation, the largest constructor of space cruisers and weapons in the Galaxy. Trafford is infamously aggressive, using its financial muscle and military power to always get what it wants. At this moment in time it wants to control Elland and it will use all and any resources to get what it wants. You are Ethan Lancashire, one of the finest of Elland Inc.’s fighter pilots. Across more than 20 dangerous missions you will pilot advanced flying machines that can move, turn and hover, and come equipped with a variety of weapons and utilities, fitted as the mission requires. Weapons can be set to lock-on or aimed manually. Earn commendations and trophies, displayed in your personal room, and climb the ranks from lowly Cadet all the way up to Air Force General. This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this emulated game, including: • An LCD filter option for an authentic GBA experience • Rewind live gameplay at any time • A virtual interactive instruction booklet
