[edit] Synopsis

The story of Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense centers on the international meddlings of an oil conglomerate from the future known as OMAR. After the events of the first game, the character known as 'Slick Clyde' has resigned his vigilante ways and has risen to become the head of OMAR.

He leads the conglomerate to great success, becoming the only multinational supplier of oil to all countries but the United States. This lack of control bothers Clyde greatly. Clyde's research team cracks the secret of time travel and he decides to take a small team back to when the United States was vulnerable in terms of oil, the 1970s. He leaves from 2017, with his bodyguard Obake and a cybernetic assassin called Dallas 13.
