This awesome game was converted for nearly every home system there was in the late 80´s. No wonder, this game featured many new ideas and was a quartermuncher per excellence when it came out.
U shoot ur way through loads of mercenary style levels in 3rd person view, always strafing from left to right and back, dodging enemy shots/grenades in pseudo 3D grafics. And u dont just shoot at the enemies, u can also destroy every single builing onscreen, who are hinding extra points, grenades or better weapons. Every 4th level ull battle an endboss.
Buildings near ur characters can be used as cover till enemy shots destroy them. Prequel to "Blood Bros".
