Albagon serves as the starting point for a journey across 32 levels to deliver a radiation vaccine. Players pilot a vehicle equipped with machine guns, rockets, and oil slicks to combat henchmen while racing toward a missile base. Visiting city shops allows for vehicle upgrades, such as increasing gas tank capacity to survive the post-apocalyptic terrain.
