From the back of the box:
2083 AD... The world is a barren shell, ravaged by the fallout form the Resource Wars which raged at the end of the 20th Century.
The survivors have divided into two groups: the pus-filled mutants who dwell on the surface and the privileged elite who had fallout shelters and have since stayed underground.
When an ancient satellite with awesome destructive powers is discovered, the embers of emnity suddenly burst into flames ... Codename Hellfire is a stunning future war sim which puts the fate of the entire human race into your sweaty palms.
Features include:
Real time player control of up to six vehicles simultaneously, allowing execution of joint combat sorties
One or two player competitive play
Over 15,000 physical objects on the map which extends over a relative area of 112,589 km2 [sic]
We tried and failed to the the world once.
Now the human race has something it really doesn't need - a second chance...
