Venom Strikes Back
Matt sets out for the moon where he must overcome the defences of V.E.N.O.M.'s base, rescue his son and steal a rocket back to earth.
In his quest he is helped by special masks that give him special powers. For example one mask will give Matt the ability to shoot bullets others will allow him to fly, pass through solid objects, float across bodies of water, have temporary invulnerability and so on. However, Matt can only carry four masks and can only use one mask at a time. Each mask has just 99 units of energy, or bullets, and this number is reduced each time the mask is used so eventually the mask will need replacing.

About This Game
Matt Trakker confronts an agonizing choice when his son Scott is abducted and held captive on the lunar surface by the nefarious Miles Mayhem, who demands Matt surrender all MASK resources to VENOM in exchange for the boy's release. Capitulating to the terrorist ultimatum would hand complete authority of global peacekeeping operations to VENOM's forces, yet refusing the terms could condemn Scott to a terrible fate. As Matt, players must navigate this impossible scenario, balancing the weight of personal loss against the fate of international security while attempting to locate and extract Scott from his extraterrestrial prison before it's too late.
