Guess the game ! (#001) [Solved - see comments]

Some games will be more obscure than others. But I promise every game I post will have had a retail English translation.

Can you guess this game ?

I will post the answer in 8 hours (if not answered)

Oh, I own this game. It's Battleship: Surface Thunder!

It's the weirdest mix of "Battleship the 2-player board game" and what you see in the image, a mission based arcade game.

Good eye sniper! I was wracking my brain trying to think if there was some obscure predecessor to Blood Wake that I wasn't aware of or something.

From the cereal box? Do tell.

This was a General Mills promotion where you'd get one of a bunch of games as discs in cereal boxes.

Battleship, Hasbro Board Game collection, and Wheel of Fortune was what I got.

My guess would be an Army Men game.
