Operation Secret Storm is an action-oriented video game released in 1992 for the NES platform. Players control a secret agent named George B.—widely seen as a caricature of then-United States President George H. W. Bush—as he fights the Iraqi army. The game uses beat-'em-up combat mechanics on a 2D plane. The character collects ammunition and grenades while travelling through Iraq and defeating stereotypical Arabic enemies.
Reception
[edit]Saddam Hussein, as he appears in this game, is ranked eighth in Electronic Gaming Monthly’s list of the top ten videogame politicians.[1] The game's superhero caricature of George H. W. Bush was ranked as one of the greatest videogame Presidents by G4. [2]
