==Story==
 +
A pair of [[wikipedia:Boeing AH-64 Apache|Apache AH-64]] helicopters, the Dragonfly and the Ladybug, have been sent on "Operation Midnight," a covert mission to rescue a scientist who is being held hostage deep in enemy territory by the fictional Al Shakkur terrorist organization. Early in the mission, two allied trooper carriers are shot down, and the helicopter crews are left without their support. The team must infiltrate an enemy chemical weapons facility, extract the hostage, plant explosives, and escape.

==Gameplay==
 +
''Midnight Raiders'' is a [[full-motion video]] shooting game. The player takes the role of the rookie gunner "Joker," part of the crew for the Apache helicopter Dragonfly alongside the veteran pilot "Stryker." They are accompanied by a sister helicopter, the Ladybug, and its pilot, "Sparks." The team's mission takes three phases: in the air, on foot, and in a Jeep.
 +
 
 +
Gameplay consists of short shooting segments against fast-moving targets, interspersed with numerous dramatized cutscenes. When an enemy appears, the player has a brief amount of time to aim (using the D-Pad) and fire at the enemy. If the player fails to shoot the enemy (or misses), the enemy fires and costs the player a life.
 +
 
 +
The game has options for toggling the target boxes (green overlays that show the hitboxes of targets to assist with aiming) and changing the difficulty (Easy or Hard, which affects the number of missiles given).

 +
 
 +
If the helicopter is shot down by an enemy, "Joker" and "Stryker" are rescued by the Ladybug and continue with a spare helicopter. If shot down during the last section, however, the mission is aborted and the game ends.

The player only has one life for this section. The game ends if an enemy shoots "Joker," though the game sometimes gives the player another chance after missing an enemy. When there are multiple targets, it is only necessary to shoot one to proceed safely.

Midnight Raiders is a Sega Mega-CD game. It is heavily reliant on full-motion video.

A Mega-CD 32X version was once planned[5] for November[1], later December 1994[6], but was later cancelled (despite appearing in promotional material[7]).

Story

A pair of Apache AH-64 helicopters, the Dragonfly and the Ladybug, have been sent on "Operation Midnight," a covert mission to rescue a scientist who is being held hostage deep in enemy territory by the fictional Al Shakkur terrorist organization. Early in the mission, two allied trooper carriers are shot down, and the helicopter crews are left without their support. The team must infiltrate an enemy chemical weapons facility, extract the hostage, plant explosives, and escape.

Gameplay

Midnight Raiders is a full-motion video shooting game. The player takes the role of the rookie gunner "Joker," part of the crew for the Apache helicopter Dragonfly alongside the veteran pilot "Stryker." They are accompanied by a sister helicopter, the Ladybug, and its pilot, "Sparks." The team's mission takes three phases: in the air, on foot, and in a Jeep.

Gameplay consists of short shooting segments against fast-moving targets, interspersed with numerous dramatized cutscenes. When an enemy appears, the player has a brief amount of time to aim (using the D-Pad) and fire at the enemy. If the player fails to shoot the enemy (or misses), the enemy fires and costs the player a life.

The game has options for toggling the target boxes (green overlays that show the hitboxes of targets to assist with aiming) and changing the difficulty (Easy or Hard, which affects the number of missiles given).

Targets Ahead
This phase of the mission is played in the helicopter. B fires Sidewinder missiles against air targets (enemy helicopters), C fires Hellfire missiles at ground targets (tanks and SAM sites). On Easy, the helicopter is equipped with 50 of each missile; on Hard, the helicopter only has 15 of each missile.

If the helicopter is shot down by an enemy, "Joker" and "Stryker" are rescued by the Ladybug and continue with a spare helicopter. If shot down during the last section, however, the mission is aborted and the game ends.

The Factory Run
This phase of the mission is played on foot as "Joker" infiltrates the enemy installation. A fires the handgun. To reload, move the crosshair to the lower-right of the screen to make the bullets appear and then press A while over one of the bullets. The handgun holds 15 rounds and can be reloaded 10 times.

The player only has one life for this section. The game ends if an enemy shoots "Joker," though the game sometimes gives the player another chance after missing an enemy. When there are multiple targets, it is only necessary to shoot one to proceed safely.

Rescue
The final phase of the mission is played on foot and in a Jeep as "Joker" and "Sparks" make a getaway before the chemical plant explodes. It plays the same as the second phase, with the player armed with a gun with the same ammunition and only getting one life with which to complete the mission.
