Player's Review
"Behind enemy lines, guerrilla warfare are your best tactics as you battle your way through the jungles, rivers, ruins, and opposing entrenchments in this arcade hit. Picking up an array of weaponry - machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, and even a tank - you must battle your way to survival and conquest"
Tragic doesn't begin to explain this poor conversion. Four short levels which eventually lead to rescuing Colonel Cook. Once completed the game loops round again until Game Over and going back to the title screen. No highscore table.
The game has that weird low res look that US conversions to C64 have (blue+pink for player) and its quite easy. Its the collision detection you need to watch out for as on moment you feel like Rambo dodging everything and the next you die from something you never got to see.
