Serious Game Classification

Aqua Zone is the first in a series of four promotional tie-in games for a Taco Bell campaign revolving around a Taco Bell marketing brand called Spy-Tek. This game focuses on the four Tek Kids in their effort to thwart an evil villain named Dr. Havok who is using a vast submarine factory to produce weapons for rogue nations while simultaneously and deliberately polluting the ocean.

The player chooses from among the four Tek Kids to take on the treacherous Aqua Zone. The gameplay consists of piloting an offensive swimming pod through a stretch of shallow water ocean while dodging enemies and collecting power-ups. The enemies include sharks and spiked mines. Power-ups include 2 different types of weapons, fuel for your pod, and Taco Bell logos which restore your overall health meter. There are also warps that give your pod an incredible speed boost (but the warps do not give you invincibility, so you still need to dodge enemies).

Another feature of the game allows the player to create a custom desktop wallpaper by combining various Tek Kids against backgrounds chosen from the various Flash Ops games, along with a Taco Bell "Think Outside The Bun" logo in a customizable position. [source:mobygames]
