Now THIS was a hidden gem I'm glad I found. The gameplay is simple, but tight and challenging. The music kicks ass, and it's so satisfying to drop a swarm of enemies with the rockets. It's not very long, and the bosses leave a bit to be desired but I actually like this one quite a bit.

A gameplay loop that is structured around three enemies: the black soldiers that you can attack on the ground, the red ones that you have to anti-air by jumping yourself and the orange ones that can shoot. The game is moderately difficult and has some good backgrounds that keep things varied. Nevertheless, it remains a rather poor title in the challenge it presents. It's a shame that the character grabs a ladder as soon as he's on it (without even having to press the up button), which is a problem when trying to kill the reds. Otherwise, if the bosses bring a bit of diversity, there is nothing particularly brilliant.

Competent port of the arcade hit. Too short to be of any real consequence, but a fun blast.

The beginning of an endless stream of side scrolling military commando games. This one is a solid start, but both level and enemy design is pretty simple.

A decent NES conversion of Green Beret, but as good as the port is, the original game is mostly OK, not great.


Na infância pensava que fosse algum tipo de continuação do Contra. Esse jogo não chega ao nível do Contra, mas é legal!

A one star from me because I found it too hard for me. The one hit kills especially from the soldiers that do the jump kicks are very difficult to avoid getting hit.

Nice little gem I never knew about.

É um jogo bem divertido, mas bastante desafiador, tive que usar do save state pra conseguir chegar até o final, porque o desafio e nível de memorização é um pouco absurdo, mas nada que se a pessoa tiver tempo e dedicação não consiga. Acho legal que a falta de variedade de inimigos mais ajuda na experiência do que atrapalha, tu sempre tem que ir se preparando para o que está por vim, mesmo que isso seja limitado.
