Dr. Malcolm Ford devoted most of his life to finding a serum that would stop drug addiction. He found it. After successful tests on laboratory animals, he was ready to begin the process of making it safe enough for human consumption. Alas, he wouldn't get that far. Realizing the serum's success would render his business obsolete, the Crimson King kidnapped the doctor and took him to a tropical island named Matano.

You see, the Crimson King was the head of one of the most feared and powerful drug cartels in the world, so he could not sit idly by as the doctor flushed all of his hard work down the toilet. The Crimson King also wanted to set a trap for Ford's son, Johnny. Johnny Ford just so happens to be the Narcotics Control Agency's (NCA) top agent, responsible for several expensive drug busts throughout his career. Now Johnny has no choice but to travel to Matano in order to save his father!

As one of the top soldiers in the Resistance forces, your life is constantly in danger; you never know whom to trust, and most of your life is spent along, waiting for the next mission. So when the Evil Head kidnaps your family, you're caught off-guard. But in Midnight Resistance, there's no time to waste, as you have to save your family before it's too late.

As a one-man army, all you'll have is your three-barreled machine gun as you try to infiltrate Evil Head's complex in search of your family, and vengeance.

Midnight Resistance is an action game in the same style as Konami's Contra. The game is played from a horizontal perspective as you move from left to right to combat the Crimson King's forces. You'll play the role of Johnny Ford, blasting anything that moves with your machine-gun while progressing through seven levels of shooting mayhem. In between each level, you'll be able to purchase new weapons or items using keys found by destroying enemies.

The four types of guns include a full-automatic, flame-thrower, shotgun and three-way shot. Also available are special backpack weapons, allowing you to use three types of missiles to zero-in on the enemy, and items such as extra bullets, barriers, extra lives and super chargers (to increase each weapon's power). Midnight Resistance options include four difficulty levels, four different control configurations, adjustable lives and up to five continues.

The Evil Head has always been public enemy №1 in the eyes of the Midnight Resistance, but this time…it's personal!
