Operation Wolf
» PLATFORM: ARCADE » RELEASED: 1987 » DEVELOPER: TAITO
Whenplaying Operation Wolf, you barely have time to breathe. Your sweaty palms grasp the replica Uzi submachine gun, one finger on the trigger, and you blast away at the onslaught of enemy soldiers while also trying to take out any vehicles crossing your path by road, river and air with a well-timed grenade!
At the end of the jungle stage, however, just as you thought you’d cleared the screen of enemies, a warning pops up. Within seconds, an evil moustachioed general swiftly makes his way from the right of the screen holding a gun while hiding behind a female hostage, and you realise you’re not done quite yet. There’s a look of terror on her face perhaps matched only by your own as your brain begins to process your next move. Only if you aim well and blast the general with a few shots will you succeed here. Sure, it’s easier said than done but you’ll be rewarded with a warm smile and a wave of gratitude if you do.
