Overview and Gameplay
Headmistress Helga and the New Order Nation have kidnapped Aerosmith, turning music itself into the reason for a rail-shooter rebellion. Revolution X sends players through Club X, a helicopter chase, global battle zones, and a final showdown at Wembley Stadium.
The player aims an on-screen weapon, blasts enemies and vehicles, breaks scenery for items, frees captives, and fires at route choices to decide the next path.
