You are usually tasked with destroying a specific target, but there's [[UnstoppableRage nothing stopping you from wiping the entire base off the map.]]
You have the option of using either an [[CoolPlane Apache attack helicopter]] or an unidentified ([[CoolTank but awesome]]) battle tank, each with distinct weaponry. The Apache has six weapon bays and the tank four, as well as a separate "special" weapon bay, of which there are three unique ones for either vehicle. These bays can be reconfigured before each mission to hold different amounts of ammunition for each weapon, though the first bay always has the [[EmergencyWeapon chain gun.]] You could have a whole bunch of ammo for one weapon or limited ammo but lots of different weapons, or any combination thereof. You can also tweak the specs of your craft, tipping it towards MightyGlacier or FragileSpeedster as per your play style.
The game is divided up into five chapters called "Operations", each consisting of four to five levels, with different objectives and increasingly difficult enemies as you go along. Though the game lacks [[BossBattle Bosses]] of any kind, you do get [[MultiMookMelee large groups of enemies]] thrown at you constantly in later levels.

!!Seek And Destroy provides examples of:
* AmericaSavesTheDay: [[JustifiedTrope Justified,]] if only because seemingly no one else can be arsed to fight the bad guys.
* AttractMode
* BigBulkyBomb: One of the Apache's special weapons is the Mega Missile, which fires a single [[BiggerIsBetter really big]], [[StuffBlowingUp really explosive]] missile.
* CameraScrew: For some reason, your view in the tank orients to the body rather then the turret, so good luck shooting anything behind you.
* CodeName: The player is "Apache One" while in the chopper and "Teen Yankee" in the tank.
* CoolTank: The playable tank is an engine of raw destruction, what with it's ''triple-barreled'' main gun. It actually only fires one shell to begin with, but can be upgraded to fire more, and with an auto-loader for even MoreDakka. It's a little awkward to drive the thing though, and you'll need to master the turret rotation controls to get the most out of it. You are forced to use it in one or two missions where the Apache is "out of commission".
* DangerDeadpan: Your pilot occasionally speaks, and he is most definitely this. Other characters, presumably support staff, are also this.
* EmergencyWeapon: The basic chain gun does little damage, but has [[BottomlessMagazines unlimited ammo]] and both vehicles always have it equipped. It can be upgraded from near-useless to viable secondary weapon.
* EveryTenThousandPoints: Get enough points, get a OneUp. Pretty standard.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Though the fact that all enemies and structures appear on your [[EnemyDetectingRadar radar]] kind of eliminates the "seek" part. Also in the chapter names: "Operation Heatwave" is a [[ShiftingSandLand desert zone]], "Operation Snowstorm" is an [[SlippySlideyIceWorld arctic zone]], "Operation Monsoon" is a [[JungleJapes jungle zone]], you get the idea.
* ExplodingBarrels: [[UpToEleven Even better]]: exploding fuel dumps and [[NukeEm nuclear storage containers.]]
* [[WizardNeedsFoodBadly Helicopter Needs Fuel Badly]]: Both vehicles have a limited supply of fuel. If you run out, [[CriticalExistenceFailure you blow up.]] You can find more fuel in the field, however, as a PowerUp. If you find a fuel pickup just before you run out (Or find an armor pickup when near death) your pilot says, "Just in time." The tank is slightly more fuel-efficient then the Apache.
* KillItWithFire: The Apache has access to napalm bombs that cause damage in a line, as well as a star-shaped blast super napalm bomb as one of it's special weapons. The tank has a flamethrower.
* LandMineGoesClick: Watch out for these while driving the tank. However, it goes both ways, as this is one of the tank's special weapons. Guaranteed to blow any land enemy right the hell into orbit.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Your Apache starts out being able to fire a steady stream of dumb-fire rockets, but this can be upgraded to two and then ''four'' with each shot.
* PinballScoring
* PowerUp: Pick-ups include [[HealThyself armor]], ammuntion, fuel and shiny medals which serve as currency for the purchasing of upgrades between missions.
* StuffBlowingUp: Holy ''crap''.
* SupportPower: You have a "Fire Support" ability, though it's upgraded and used like any other weapon and behaves like a SmartBomb. There are three levels: Offshore artillery, chopper support, and a supersonic air-strike, each doing more damage then the last.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: If you blow up enough enemies and buildings in quick succession, the word "Overkill" appears on your screen and you get a point bonus.
* TheSameButMore: Literally. One of the tank's special weapons is the Power Shell, which like your regular cannon [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin only... well, more powerful.]] It does however, have the unique quality of penetrating multiple targets.
* VideogameCrueltyPotential: You can run over enemy infantry with the tank. Or land on them with the Apache.
* WeakTurretGun: More then half the enemies in this game are fixed emplacements. They start out as this, but quickly become GoddamnedBats, a few graduating to DemonicSpiders.
