Time Crisis description:
When Rachel, the President’s daughter, is kidnapped by a madman, it’s up to secret agent Richard Miller to save the day. The only thing standing between Richard and Rachel is an army of henchmen, a dozen or so murderous ninjas, and a few robotic assassins, just for good measure. The odds are tough, but with the Namco Guncon to even the score, Richard’s got a fighting chance.
