Rescue Raider
This futuristic red vehicle is the protagonist of this game; it has landed on an island behind enemy lines, and must retrieve secret documents which will reveal the positions of hostages (which are worth an extra life when rescued), fuel (given that it only has a limited amount, and will die if it should run out), weapons (for more firepower) and special weapons (which are needed to kill certain enemies). As well as dying if it runs out of fuel, it shall also die every time it is hit by an enemy shot - however, it will immediately regenerate on the spot (unless, of course, it was on its last life).

The Hostages also come in two different colours (gray and green), and both types look somewhat like the Humanoid from Stern Electronics' Berzerk.
