This album was released in 1998. The album is based on an action motion picture, thus you can see the movie if you close your eyes and listen to the music. For those of you unfortunate enough not to be in possession of this rare album, this is the story printed inside the pamphlet:

Action Man, is of course, the hero of the intricate action motion picture Action Man. We meet our man as he's testing his new firearms at the shooting range. Crises often occur so it came as no surprise when he was assigned for his next mission in Baghdad. Mission Baghdad is played as Action Man flies into the city in a helicopter. Only a few hours after the appointment with his contact, who turns out to be a woman (codename Miranda), he realizes that he has fallen in love with her. Fire in my heart is played as they passionately make love through the night. As things don't proceed as planned Action Man suspects a nasty double play performed by his beloved. "One of us is lying", he says as he thinks of her as a traitor. Action Man has a deplorable Lonely night as he miserably walks through the city of Baghdad. At sunrise he spots her and just as he reaches her, he realizes that it is a trap and they are all surrounded. The terrified look in her eyes tells him that she has nothing to do with it. It now seems that The game is over. Unfortunately one of the terrorists fires his gun and the bullet hits Miranda. Holding your hand is played when she dies in Action Man?s arms and they hold on to each other.
The original idea behind this album was to extend the band material before Mark moved to Canada. A big difference between Action Man the album and Action Millennium is that the latter album doesn´t have a story to keep it together. The song succession is intended to keep up the interest of the listener, thus the tempo in the successive songs vary a lot.
