Operation Secret Storm is an action-oriented NES game where you control a secret agent named George B. as he fights the Iraqi army. The player fights a lot of Arabs as he gets deeper and deeper into Iraq. This game was probably made in protest of America withdrawing from the Middle East after liberating Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

However, due to the 2003 Iraq War, the type of situation that occurs in this game is now considered to be impossible due to the collapse of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship and is now considered to be retrofuturistic in style.
