Controlling your powerful, heavily-armed K-19 Phantom New Age Power Suit (NAP) exosuit, you single-handedly take on legions of techno-terrorists in control of some unspecified WeaponOfMassDestruction and are threatening to use them.
A sequel, ''Final Zone II'', is released, also in 1990 (merely 8 months later). Howard Bowie is back, and has been promoted to being TheLeader of a bunch of new recruits, consisting of his second-in-command Sub-Lieutenant Momoco Ring, Commander Hanna Franks, heavy weapons specialist Lieutenant Randy Hansen and saber combat expert Izak Velder. A botched mission leaves most of Howard's team except his recruits dead, and they must continue their mission from there; unlike the first game the player is allowed to choose between the five protagonists, each having different stats, strengths and weaknesses. The sequel also allows firing in eight instead of only four directions, and cutscenes in-between levels to narrate a story.

* AirborneMooks: From robotic {{Attack Drone}}s to helicopters and the like.
* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: In the second game's ending, Bowie's confrontation of the enemy colonel, Rumen, have [[https://youtu.be/th983NXdHiY?t=2044 Bowie and Rumen]] pointing guns on each other. Rumen seems to get the drop on Bowie as an offscreen gunshot is heard, but then the camera pans back to reveal Bowie pulling the trigger first.
* BlackoutBasement: The sixth level of the first game, a nighttime infiltration and shootout that have your vision limited to a circle around you. You'll need to locate enemies in the stage from the direction of their fired projectiles.
* BladeOnARope: In the first game, you collect a retractable mechanical hook on a chain that can deal severe damage to everything it hits, and kills most mook-level enemies in a single shot. Though it lacks range and speed compared to firearms, obviously.
* BloodlessCarnage: The first game is at least justified since your enemies are robots, who then explodes without a drop of blood present. But not so much in the sequel, where human soldiers will simply blink out of existance after being hit.
* BossOnlyLevel: The final stage of the first game, appropriately titled "Last Level", where you fight Axis, the FinalBoss, for the entire stage in a room full of mechanized turrets.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: After the end of the second game's first stage, this is how Howard Bowie found one of his men, heavily wounded and about to succumb to his injuries. WHo then bleeds out in Bowie's arms while talking to him.
