The following is a summary of the levels and storyline for the ExoSquad
game. The cutscenes allow the storyline to progress and provide the story
behind the levels. There are cutscenes between all levels, I just relate
the ones that advance the story.
The levels where the character is Marsh the player has a rear
view of the e-frame and must navigate around obstacles, shooting when
necessary. Levels where the character is Torres are Street Fighter/Mortal
Kombat type duels with the opponent. Bronski levels are typical Mario
Bros. adventure runs.
Cutscene: It is the year 2118, and peace treaty negotiations are
being held between the Terrans and Neo sapiens. An illegal time jump has been
detected, and Captain Hunter sends J.T. Marsh, Rita Torres, and Wolf
Bronski to the year 2045 to investigate.

They report this to Captain Hunter, who orders them back. Marsh
disregards the order, and we see that a Neo sapien is holding a gun to
Hunter's back. The exotroopers plan to use the city's computer to get

Cutscene: A strange green chemical is found with Geza. Bronski
relates that the
last time the time machine was used was 2060, which Marsh recognizes as
the year the first advanced Neo sapiens were developed. He concludes that
the Neos must be trying to advance their own development, and they must
go to 2060 to stop them.

envelope with a CD
inside. It contains a message stating that the Neos have taken control of

concludes that since the Neos have all the remaining time machines, they
must go to one of their orbital stations to steal one.

Cutscene: Bronski relates what the information from a transmission he
overheard, that the final weapon delivery will be made to a ship in a
matter of hours. Torres reads the uniform of the fallen Neo to find the
ship's name -- Olympus Mons. But she failed to properly watch her back,
and gets captured. Marsh instructs Bronski to go after Torres while he

Cutscene: Torres is cured. The threat of revealing all these events
forces the Neos to sign a
peace treaty. To prevent such events in the future, all time machines
and the ability to create them are destroyed. But the seeds of a sequel
are sown, as Praetorius reports to Phaeton that their N-Project was a
success, the apparent result being a feral Neo, perhaps one of the
earliest Neo warriors.

have absolutely nothing to do with Universal Pictures, who owns these
characters, cool ideas, etc. Nor do I have anything to do with Playmates
Interactive, who made the game. The pictures are taken from a Sega
Genesis web site. The purpose of my relating the story and
passwords is to show you that the game is so great, you should go and buy
it RIGHT NOW!
