Release Date: 1987
"Rush'n Attack," also known by its original title "Green Beret," is a side-scrolling action game developed by Konami. Released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1987, the game places players in the role of an unnamed United States special operations operative who embarks on a mission to rescue prisoners of war from a hostile enemy. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the gameplay primarily involves running, jumping, and stabbing enemies with a knife, which intensifies the close-quarters combat experience. As players progress through various levels, they encounter an array of enemy types and can occasionally pick up special weapons like flamethrowers and bazookas for a temporary advantage.
The game originated as an arcade release before transitioning to home consoles, where it became popular for its challenging gameplay and distinctive graphics. "Rush'n Attack" is characterized by its fast pace and reliance on melee combat, which set it apart from other side-scrollers of its time that typically featured projectile weapons as the primary means of combat. The NES version of the game is especially noted for its two-player cooperative mode, allowing friends to tackle the game's challenges together. Despite its somewhat controversial theme and the intensity of its combat, "Rush'n Attack" remains a remembered and celebrated title in the NES library for its straightforward yet engaging mechanics and its role in the evolution of arcade-style action games on home consoles.
