Rush'n Attack
built 279 days ago
From the very beginning "Rush'n Attack" ("Green Beret" in Japan) perfectly exemplifies 1980's Konami arcade game design. It's mercilessly challenging, totally relentless, brilliantly simplistic, and intense. Rush'n Attack never takes a break from the action and you are constantly almost overwhelmed by enemies pouring onto the screen. There's never a moment's rest and your success is going to be completely dependent on your reflexes. As its American name kind of implies, your objective is to move right and attack without discretion. There are four levels total, and the game loops after they are all completed.

One thing that has not changed from the original is the difficulty -- Rush'n Attack is tough. Even with four different difficulty settings and the ability to increase your total lives to seven at the start, beating Rush'n Attack all the way through is a real challenge. To survive this side-scroller, you have to be quick with the knife and a crack-shot with special weapons picked up along the way: a flame-thrower, bazooka and grenades.

Rush'n Attack was popular enough in the arcades to get a few ports of varying levels of accuracy and quality. The DOS, MSX, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC ports, like most PC versions, are disasters that look and play horribly. However, when Rush'n Attack was ported to Nintendo's home consoles, it was given several major modifications. There are two extra levels, you can continue twice, and two people can team up and play at the same time. The secondary weapons have been slightly altered - in the Japanese Famicom Disk System version, most of the weapons weapon can only be fired once, although you can build up extra ammunition (up to four shots) by grabbing up more items. In the NES version, you're given three shots (and no more) with each weapon pickup.

[T]hat comment you made, combined with the fact that you said Rush'n Attack was no good, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a no-taste-having monogoloid. Thank you very little.
