While The Rocketeer is based on the movie of the same name; this game is sort of an unofficial sequel to the film. While in his hometown to perform for his friends and family, Cliff Secord's (the Rocketeer) girlfriend Jenny Blake is kidnapped by Cliff's archenemy. Now it's up to you, as the Rocketeer, to save Jenny and bring the criminals to justice. You'll have to battle paratroopers, Armored Flying Tanks, and hailstorms of bombs through four arcade sequences and six levels of intense action if you want to see Jenny again!

Игра про простого парня, который, сделав себе ракетный ранец и маску, стал обычным супер героем. Бегалка - вид сбоку. Мелкие персонажики перемещаются по многоэтажному уровню. У героя в арсенале кулак, пистолет, несколько видов автоматов и гранатомет. Поначалу, его ракетный ранец незакончен и летать он не может.
