Rush'n Attack

Rush'n Attack, released by Konami in 1987 for the NES, is a side-scrolling action game that puts players in the boots of a special forces operative infiltrating an enemy military compound. Armed primarily with a bayonet, the soldier can seize powerful weapons — including a flamethrower and an RPG launcher — by taking them from defeated enemy soldiers. The game unfolds across three stages that push progressively deeper into hostile territory. Rush'n Attack is known for its demanding difficulty and fast-paced, no-nonsense action — qualities that cemented its reputation as one of the NES's defining hard-edged action titles.
