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.

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

During one of the Moral Panics about violent video games, my parents confiscated this game from my collection.
5/5 memory.
2/5 game. It was kinda bad so I didn't miss it.

My brothers and I were with my Dad at Babbages to grab a game. We only got one game every few months, and I entreated hard for this one. My brothers wanted Super Mario 2 or Megaman 2. But we had already rented and played those! We played them and beat them! And look at this dude standing in a fire with tree trunk arms shooting at my face! I successfully persuaded them to go with Operation Wolf. The next morning I woke up at 6:30 to get an early start on the new game and yeah it was terrible.


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

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.
