MUSIC BY JOLYON MYERS. 1 COMMANDERS BRIEFING : YOUR MISSION Silently, beneath the chilly Atlantic waters Russia's top secret nuclear missile submarine the RED OCTOBER is heading West ..... RED OCTOBER is armed with 26 SS-N-20 Seahawk missiles capable of destroying 200 cities and is the pride of the Soviet navy. As the most senior of Russian Submarine Commanders you are ordered to test the latest in Soviet naval technology - a submarine so powerful and so quiet, with its unique and revolutionary caterpillar drive system, that it is almost impossible to detect. Your hand picked officers are totally loyal and will risk their lives for you, but the enlisted crew know nothing about your mission ..... TO DEFECT. The US Navy is unsure of your real intentions but is convinced by Jack Ryan, senior intelligence official at the CIA, that your defection is true. Unfortunately the Soviet Red Banner Fleet one of the most powerful fleet in the world has orders to pursue and destroy you - AT ANY COST. In this deadly battle of survival you must successfully complete five levels of action - LEVEL 1 You must deliver Jack Ryan on to the USS Dallas Submarine in mid-Atlantic. The weather is bad; Jack hates flying; gale force winds and low fuel brings increased danger to Jack. One false move and Jack is dead and the mission aborted! LEVEL 2 Navigate the treacherous Reykjanes ridge, one of the key ridges in Red Route One. You will need to navigate through deep and narrow channels; avoid heat seeking automatic guided missiles and mines and remain undetected. LEVEL 3 Successfully guide Jack Ryan to rendezvous with the Red October from a mini-sub where great precision and skill is essential. 2 LEVEL 4 Face the final (or so you think) confrontation with the Soviet Red Banner Fleet. The full force of their Navy confronts you - homing missiles, depth charges and totally dedicated submarine commanders in pursuit. YOU WILL BE STOPPED ..... LEVEL 5 Finally you have succeeded - or have you? Await the ultimate challenge! Can you and the precious RED OCTOBER survive? REMEMBER, you have some very special and powerful weapons; you also have the unique, nearly undetectable caterpillar drive system and the advantage of stealth. Use them all carefully and you might survive. The Americans want the RED OCTOBER. The Russians want her back. The most incredible chase in history begins THE HUNT IS ON!
