Just look at that game case. A helicopter with bright headlights flying towards some barbed wire. When I first saw this, I was like "what the heck does that have to do with anything?" After I took some time to think about it, it makes total sense. Here's what I imagine in my mind: This helicopter is definitely looking for something. Of course in the game you are going to rescue hostages. And barbed wire? That usually indicates that you are going somewhere you aren't supposed to be going. And in the game you're in enemy territory blowing up buildings or whatnot to get to those hostages! So yeah, the cover certainly does do the game justice.
The intro screen, on the other hand, is a little misleading. Why do the people not have any legs? Why is the chopper shooting at the people? Who knows, but it's still cool.
Now I don't have any game footage because there were just major scan lines in the photos I took. But the game is pretty much perfect. All you do is dodge objects and get the hostages. I'm terrible at it. I can't even pass the second stage, but I've only recently played this game. I've never even heard of it until recently! And what a terrible thing. This game is great. It's great for the imagination. I mean look at what I thought of when I saw the game case! The music in this game is awesome. It fits the game perfectly. I feel the shooting sound effect is weird, but everything else is good. Too bad it doesn't have the talking and the screaming like the arcade version has.
All in all, you should certainly try this game if you haven't. And if you don't have a Master System, get a power base converter. But the Master System is so cool!
