Hijack

In Hijack, you lead the US Government’s Hijack Division during a terrorist vehicle seizure. You must find a way to resolve the crisis before time runs out.

Managing the Response

Choose between raising enough money to bribe the hijackers, using political influence to overrule them, or calling in military force. Your decisions depend on coordinating with the President, FBI and CIA agents, military and political advisers, and other staff.

Move through buildings, use lifts to change rooms, and select commands from rows of icons. On-screen graphs track your political, military, and financial situations. Staff members can provide support, question personnel, share intelligence about the hijackers, or help with publicity and fundraising.

Negotiating the Outcome

Your ultimate objective is to reach the hijack scene and negotiate with the terrorists. Key advisers can accompany you, improving the chance of achieving the correct outcome.
