In the steamy jungles of South America, heavily armed extremists are holding innocent civilians prisoner. Little do these terrorists know that real terror is about to land on their front porch! The sound of rotor blades and staccato bursts of gunfire echo through the valleys. Terrorists be warned! Operation Wolf is going to teach you what terror is all about! Operation Wolf consists of six missions, which are displayed on the Operations Map Screen. A mission is completed when all enemy forces are reduced to zero. The current level is completed when you escape from the airport with the prisoners. Your injury level increases when the enemy hits you. The game automatically ends if the injury indicator on the right side of the screen becomes completely red. You can reduce your injury level by getting power drinks.

A huge step in the light gun and rail shooter genre, but still confined to the limitations of it. I think before the likes of Wolfenstein 3D, this was the first stepping stone towards the modern FPS.

I might have cheated. Loading the 128k version on a 48k lets you jump to the final level ;)

You know, I do like a lot of what this game has going for it, and I wanna enjoy it fully, but I forgot to bring a second pair of eyeballs before playing, so I unfortunately couldn’t. I will just take my current burnt pair of eyeballs and go back home, thank you.

Game #400

This is interesting. I like this game, but it's hard. It's also interesting you can play it both with just a controller or with a zapper.

É absolutamente bizarro como a Taito engolia o Kool-Aid do discurso colonialista ocidental com gosto.

Anyways, de mais interessante que posso comentar é que a versão japonesa te deixa escolher a ordem dos primeiro quatro níveis, enquanto na americana a ordem dos cenários é completamente linear. Isso não afeta de fato a qualidade do jogo de forma alguma, só achei algo curioso de comentar.
