SNK displaying some top notch arcade action on nes. Every mistake that the micronix developed nes ports of Ikari Warriors is gone and what you're left with is a pretty tight top down run and gun with good power ups. Creative enemy placement and pretty good graphics for a 1989 nes game make this stand out in a crowded genre. Very generous unlimited continues also help.

Oh and you get to play as Che Guevara and Fidel Castro who murder loyalists of the Batista regime as well as the dictator himself so that's pretty cool (anyone else weirded out that che is player 1 instead of Fidel)

Simpático el jueguito del Che Guevara y Fidel Castro.

Run & gun básico da SNK com temática relacionada à Revolução Cubana. Pouca variedade de inimigos. Percebe-se alguns elementos que depois seriam transportados para a série Metal Slug. Continues infinitos permitem terminá-lo facilmente, mas também tiram um pouco do desafio.

i played the original uncensored version of this game with a friend back in high school and i'm just going to say this:

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK LMAO, WHY DOES THIS EXIST AND WHY IS IT SO GOOD????

Nunca pensei que ia ver um jogo japonês realmente reverenciando a revolução cubana, e aqui está. Nunca pensei que ia ver um port de arcade para nes que a adaptação superasse o original e aqui está. Estou feliz demais com isso.

A solid top down gunner that plays almost identical to commando. The graphics and sounds are pretty good for the time. The levels are bland and the game can get old after a while, although there is some fun too be had especially with 2 player co-op. Check it out on the cheap.
