MISSION 16A-1: VISITING HOURS
Operation Alphaville - Part 3-1
Breaking into the Geothermal Plant Base


Briefing:
"Your operation this time is to destroy the enemy’s geothermal plant. It is a difficult task because this base is completely covered by a dome shaped wall made of heavy, resistant material. Bombing it directly will not be effective. We will first break into the base by a heat-release vent, and then destroy their central cooling unit in order to stop the base from functioning. The heat release vent is closed at the moment, but our ground unit is scheduled to enter the base secretly and open it.

We plan to open the vent at precisely 1500 hours.

The time window is very small in this operation. We can only keep the vent open for 90 seconds. A hit-and-breakaway operation with lighting speed must be employed.

Target: The enemy’s geothermal plant base

Watch the clock, and don’t waste a second."

Fun fact about this mission is that it takes place during a Solar Eclipse. If you fly above the clouds straight up, you can see the sun covered up by the moon. Many people thought this mission takes place at night, which is not the case. The developers mentioned in an old article that they screwed up the graphics and made it look nighttime (as was noted that the mission starts at 14:57, which is afternoon obviously) so they added a lighter overlay so the textures didn't look too dark and added the eclipsed sun afterward.

Huh? If memory serves, the map was so bright during the game..

But the eclipse.. hmmmm..

It's there as I have seen it. I'll take a screenshot once I figure out how to run the emulator. It's both on the original Japanese and U/C versions of AC2 and even in the NamCollection version.
