In the near future year of 200X, a group of giant corporations have pooled their resources as a single conglomerate, with complete world domination their goal. The United Nations, concerned about this turn of events, have reassembled the previously-disbanded air force: Sidewinder. They have been tasked with fighting against the corporations and restoring peace and order to the world. Sidewinder 2 is an action flight-sim game and the sequel to Bogey: Dead 6, in which the player controls a pilot with the elite Sidewinder squad. The game is divided into a series of missions which have various objectives. Many missions simply require the player to shoot down all enemy aircraft, while others require safely reaching a specific point on the map, destroying specific ground-based targets, or using specialized ordnance to extinguish fires. Some missions also require the player to safely take off and land their plane. Clearing missions will earn points, which can be used to upgrade aircraft in four attributes: speed, attack, defense, and stability. The player can also increase their rank, which will grant access to additional types of planes; there are only four available at the start, with a further 22 available to unlock. Bonus and training missions can also be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. There are three difficulty levels, and three different control styles which increase the complexity and skill requirements. The game also includes a simple mission edit mode to to create custom missions by placing enemy formations and terrain.
