Synopsis :
Rush’n Attack is a run and gun game developed and released by Konami in North American arcades in 1985, and converted to the Nintendo Entertainment System and MS-DOS PCs.[8] Its name is a play on the phrase “Russian attack” due to its Cold War setting. It was released in some countries as Green Beret[a] and ported to home systems, becoming a critical and commercial success for arcades and home computers.
The players assume the roles of the United States special operations Green Berets (named Steve and Ben on the Japanese Famicom ad poster) who are infiltrating an enemy military base to save POWs from execution by firing squad. There are four stages, each ending with a special group of ambushers:
Marshalling Area, ends with a truckload of jump-kicking enemies
Harbor, ends with a pack of German Shepherds
Air Base, ends with three autogyros
Siberian Camp, ends with a flame thrower operator
The Soviet Armed Forces that attack throughout every stage are Soldiers, Gunners, Supply Runners, Combat Specialists, Jetpack Soldiers, German Shepherds, Parachute Gunners, Gyrocopters, and Flame Throwers.
The omnipresent combat knife can be supplemented with captured arms. By eliminating certain Russian militants, the players can obtain a three-shot flamethrower, a four-shot RPG, or a three-pack of hand grenades. When the mission is accomplished, the four rescued POWs salute and the player repeats the game from the first stage on the next difficulty level. An invisible time limit kills the player.
Extra lives are given at 30,000 and 70,000, and per 70,000 up to 980,000, and survival of the fittest mode thereafter.
