Side on Character based, platforming shoot em up, with quite serious cartoon violence, laced with much black humour.

It is a run and gun game, where the player runs from left to right, shooting te enemy soldiers, and rescuing prisoners of war, who will reward the player with a power up, such as flame throwers, heat seaking missiles or rockets.

There are larger obstacles to the game throughout the levels, such as tanks, or helicopters that must be dealt with, and then one large boss at the end of every level.

At least once a level, the player is given a vehicle to climb into to reap more destruction on the enemies, a tank or even a camel fitted with cannons.

The game on the AES home system is worth a four figure sum, as few were produced, this MVS cart is much more affordable at around the 100 pound mark..T

The Neo Geo MVS cartridges are designed to be plugged into the arcade system, either by way of a jamma board or the official arcade machine.

The cartridges can be used on the home AES system, if an adapter is used, this can be very benificial as by and large, the MVS carts cost a fraction of the Home system ones, at the expense of not having anything more than a basic cardboard sleeve, as opposed to the large AES cases and coloured sleeves.
