Last updated
Eagle One: Harrier Attack is a video game developed by Glass Ghost and published by Infogrames for the PlayStation in 2000. It is notable for placing the player in the role of a United States Marine piloting an AV-8B Harrier jet.
Plot
A terrorist faction, the Army of the New Millennium (ANM), has acquired Soviet weaponry and declared war on the United States, vowing to break the grip of the American war machine. Their first strike hit the Hawaiian islands with an electromagnetic pulse weapon, disabling all electronics there.
The group then relocated this weapon to a Soviet aircraft carrier, planning further assaults. In response, the U.S. Marines deploy a single pilot in an AV-8B Harrier jet. His mission is to reclaim all five islands of the Hawaiian chain.
