Winback: Covert Operations (known as Operation: Winback in Australia and Europe) is a cover-based Third-Person Shooter developed by Koei's Omega Force studio. Koei initially released it for the Nintendo 64 in Japan and North America in 1999, with an Updated Re-release for the PlayStation 2 (JP in 2000, NA in 2001); as for the European releases, Virgin Interactive handled the N64 version in 2000 and Midas Games handled the PS2 version in 2001. It later became one of the first offerings for the Nintendo Switch Nintendo 64 application in 2021. It could be considered an N64 analogue to Metal Gear Solid, and despite its obscurity it is effectively the Trope Codifier for many modern third-person shooter mechanics, particularly its cover system (which influenced that of kill.switch, which in turn was cited as an inspiration for the much more famous and widely-copied one in Gears of War) and the use of Laser Sights for aiming (which was later popularized by Resident Evil 4).The plot concerns the hijacking of a Kill Sat called the GULF System by a terrorist group calling themselves the "Crying Lions", demanding the US government to admit to their involvement in Sarcozia's civil war, pull out of Sarcozia entirely, and leave it alone; the player takes the role of Jean-Luc Cougar, a member of the Special Covert Action Team, as they move in to take back the complex housing the GULF System's controls before the terrorists can fire the weapon again.An In Name Only sequel, Winback 2: Project Poseidon, was developed by Cavia and published by Koei for the PS2 and Xbox in 2006. Besides the cover system, no other elements of the first game reappear. | |

| WinBack (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: For the most part. Tom is revealed to have written out the security code for the elevator in his blood before he died, but beyond that the closest the game ever has to any sort of blood is Jean-Luc claiming to see a pool of it under Law when the latter says he's "just resting". | |

Multiple Endings | |
| WinBack (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The three routes are defined by two flags: whether Jean-Luc reaches Stage 23 within three hours, and whether he reaches the second checkpoint of Stage 27 within five total hours. If both flags are raised, the Good ending is locked in. Most if not all of the Crying Lions have ultimately been neutralized, including Kenneth (who is betrayed and murdered by Cecile) and Cecile (who is shot dead by Jean-Luc). Dan reveals himself as the traitor who orchestrated the helicopter crash and murdered Tom and Steve, and is shot dead by Jean-Luc. Jean-Luc and Lisa have the Gulf System destroyed. Jean-Luc, Lisa, and Keith are the only survivors of Operation Winback. If only one flag is raised, the Pentagon is obliterated and the Normal ending is locked in. It's mostly the same as the Good ending, with one key difference: Cecile isn't fought as a Post-Final Boss, which means he is implied to have escaped offscreen. Jean-Luc, Lisa, and Keith are the only survivors of Operation Winback. If neither flag is raised, the White House and the Pentagon are obliterated and the Bad ending is locked in. Cecile is shot down by Jean-Luc after revealing that the Gulf System's main circuit for charging its lasers overheated as a result of firing three times in quick succession, and Kenneth commits suicide when Jean-Luc confronts him. Because Jin, Deathmask, and Dan aren't fought, they're implied to have escaped offscreen. Jean-Luc and Keith are the only survivors of Operation Winback. | |

Kill Sat | |
| WinBack (Video Game) / int_26f41623 | comment |
Kill Sat: The Gulf System that the Crying Lions hijack is a satellite that can target any spot on Earth and obliterate it with pinpoint accuracy by firing a huge laser beam. In the intro, the Crying Lions use it to destroy the Space Center. Despite having an unlimited energy source, it takes several hours to charge between blasts. In fact, Jean-Luc in the good and normal ending believes it is too dangerous to keep around and has Lisa destroy it. If you take too much time, the terrorists will again use the satellite to destroy the White House, and later the Pentagon. | |

One Bullet Clips | |
| WinBack (Video Game) / int_33287e20 | comment |
One Bullet Clips: This game is surprisingly realistic about this considering its age. Reloading the handgun or submachine gun requires you to drop the existing magazine so you can replace it with a fresh one - which includes dropping all the ammo left in the mag. The pistol avoids any issues related to that by having an infinite supply of full mags, but the submachine gun will waste any bullets you didn't fire if you reload halfway through. The plus side is that if you do reload before totally emptying your mag, you keep the bullet in the chamber to fire first from the next mag; the ammo counters for most weapons even take the form of a side-view of the bullets in a transparent magazine, with the top one slightly forward and above the actual image of the mag to indicate it's chambered (thus not falling away with all the others when you reload). The shotgun plays this straight, which is half-right - it is fed via loose shells, which would allow for topping off without wasting ammo, but it has a fixed-length reload animation like the other guns and doesn't follow the rule for chambered rounds. The silenced handgun and four-barreled rocket launcher avoid the issue by not being reloadable at all; Jean-Luc simply fires off the ammo they come with and then drops them until he can find another. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Good ending. The SCAT has destroyed the satellite before it could be fired again, saving thousands, if not billions of innocent lives, and most if not all of the terrorists have been neutralized. However, only Jean-Luc, Lisa, and Keith survive the mission; the rest of the team is dead. | |

Schrödinger's Gun | |
| WinBack (Video Game) / int_76c72a08 | comment |
Schrödinger's Gun: The three routes change radically in what all happens. Did you move so slow that the terrorists obliterated the White House and the Pentagon? Cecile serves as a textbook final boss fight and Kenneth ends up committing suicide to escape the crimes of destroying Washington D.C. If you managed to make it in time, Cecile betrays Kenneth and apparently had been planning it the entire time, Lisa lives, Dan finally appears after seemingly dying in the opening, he commits to his Face–Heel Turn and seemingly kills Cecile before the pair serve as the respective Final Boss and a weakened Post-Final Boss, and the satellite is destroyed. A few of these plot points shouldn't be so exclusive to the non-Bad routes, but your failure demotes the plot entirely. | |

Rocket-Tag Gameplay: Getting the Good ending on Hard Story Mode unlocks Sudden Death Mode as an option for that mode, where a single hit kills anyone (you, mooks, and bosses alike). For some reason, this even applies to the destructible objects. | |

The Voiceless: Subverted with Steve. Steve only speaks during the tutorial levels, in the main game, he doesn't speak during Dan's briefing, and by the time Jean-Luc finds him again, he has already been killed. Played straight with Jin, who only laughs crazily during his boss fight, and Death Mask doesn't speak at all and only lets out a grunt after being killed. | |

Necessary Evil: While not saying this directly, after Jean-Luc defeats Dan and asks him why he and the Crying Lions resorted to terrorism to win their war and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, the latter claims that there was no choice because they couldn't win in a straight battle, there was no going back, and that they had come too far to just give up. He also says that he knows it's just an excuse, but that's how it was for them. | |

Karma Houdini: In the Normal ending, Cecile is presumed to have been shot dead by Dan. However, when you take into account his Post-Final Boss status in the Good route, it's implied he gets away scot-free. In the Bad ending, Jin, Deathmask, and Dan don't appear (in fact, Jean-Luc finds Lisa and Jake's corpses instead of a boss fight against Jin). However, when you take into account their status as bosses in the other routes, it's implied they get away scot-free. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment: You can never pry weapons out of dead terrorists' hands, or even ammo, and have to settle for finding your own guns and scattered ammo pickups. Several of the bosses also make use of weapons that the player simply doesn't get access to, like Lila's M60, Sgt. Thunder's flamethrower, Duke's gatling gun, and Banderas' twin Uzis. | |

Tom writing it in his blood on the floor before he died. Once they reach it and use the code, Jean-Luc scouts ahead, fights another terrorist named Ryan, Jean-Luc manages to defeat him, but Ryan detonates a grenade and destroys the express elevator, forcing the SCAT team to take the long way around to the freight elevator. Jean-Luc lampshades this afterwards. | |

Face–Heel Turn: Dan, the SCAT Commander, betrays the team and his country, having orchestrated the helicopter's engine failure in the beginning and admitting to personally killing two of his own team members. When he is defeated, he reveals that he is half-Sarcozian and Kenneth is his brother. He technically qualifies as Evil All Along, since he mentions that his treasonous thoughts began eight years back during a mission as part of the Navy Special Forces, when he first encountered a group of Sarcozian rebels led by his brother. | |

Bottomless Magazines | |
| WinBack (Video Game) / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: Only applies to your starting handgun, and even then you still have to reload it. Other than that, the game is actually rather stingy on carried ammo - on the hardest difficulty, you can only carry one full magazine for the submachine gun and shotgun (two if you find the ammo pouch at the start), while the silenced pistol and four-barreled rocket launcher don't get reloads and you have to find new ones entirely. On the easiest difficulty at least, you can carry up to 8 magazines of ammo for the submachine gun and 64 shotgun shells, depending on how many of the ammo pouches were found throughout the game. Scoring 20k points in Normal or Hard Story Mode unlocks Max Power Mode as an option for that mode, where Jean-Luc starts with all weapons and infinite ammo. | |

Timed Mission | |
| WinBack (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: This is an unspoken mechanic of Story Mode that you might not realize has always been there until the White House and the Pentagon get obliterated from orbit. The mission is silently timing you alongside the arcade-style scoring after every stage (of 31), and you have three hours to make it to the endgame or else you're locked into a worse ending, potentially halfway or less through the game. This isn't necessarily super tight, but it does require only using the cover system in emergencies, knowing what you're doing ahead of time, and basically blitzing through the missions and bosses. | |

He offers to tell his side if Jean-Luc fights him, but Jean-Luc can't bring himself to do so. His dithering sends Dan into a rant. | |

| WinBack (Video Game) / int_c3585f4a | comment |
Boom, Headshot!: Headshots, as expected from a post-GoldenEye shooter, deal increased damage. Bosses just take a little more damage from them, but all other enemies are generally instantly killed by them. Some of the members of SCAT are also shown to be taken out this way in cutscenes. Unusually, it seems that even in normal gameplay Jean-Luc is subject to headshots, but enemies don't go out of their way to aim for them and, like the bosses, he only takes more damage from them. | |

Dwindling Party: Of the ten members of SCAT sent to secure the Fortress complex at Westham, Jean-Luc and Keith survive in all three endings. In the Good and Normal endings, Lisa is the only other survivor and Dan is confirmed dead; in the Bad ending, the former is confirmed dead and the latter is presumed to have died in the helicopter crash. Everyone else is confirmed dead in all three endings. Matt is sniped by Ceicle from a rooftop. Tom is shot several times in the back by Dan (He confesses to this in the good and normal endings) Steve is also shot several times in the back by Dan (Again, he confesses this.) Law is shot several times by terrorists, who he kills, only to be finished off by a headshot by Cecile. Mike is shot by Banderas. Jake is shot several times by Cecile. Dan, after being revealed as a traitor, is killed during a gunfight with Jean-Luc in the good and normal endings, in the bad ending, he is presumed to have died in the helicopter crash, as he is not seen again after this. In the bad ending only, Lisa is killed along with Jake by Jin. (She survives in the good and normal endings.) | |

Unbuilt Trope: Despite being the Trope Codifier of cover-based shooting, WinBack actually uses the cover system as a necessary last resort rather than a core element of the game design. Because of the Timed Mission nature of the game, Jean Luc cannot afford to play defensively and wait out enemy fire to pop off shots if the player is gunning for the best ending. Instead, the game encourages head-on assaults or even running/dodge-rolling past enemies, using cover for a breather in order to quickly reassess the situation. As well, simply crouching behind cover is actually safer and easier than using the actual cover-based mechanics. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: With the notable exceptions of international war criminal Cecile and cold-blooded killer Hard Luck Lila, all the Crying Lions, especially Kenneth, think of themselves this way. In the Bad ending, when Jean-Luc tells Kenneth that his group's ordeals are no excuse for killing innocent people and destroying their property and livelihood, the latter tries to justify their acts of terrorism by saying that it's an "unavoidable sacrifice", "the price of justice is never cheap", and "there are some problems that can only be solved through a display of force". Similarly, in the routes where Jean-Luc defeats Dan, the former asks why the Crying Lions stooped to terrorism and sacrificing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. The latter responds that they had no choice because the Crying Lions couldn't win in a straight battle, that there was no going back, and that they came too far to just give up. Unlike his brother, at least he understands that he's just making excuses, but says that's how it was for them. | |
