About the Rush'n Attack 5 Screw NES Game

Rush'n Attack is a Konami arcade game. In Japan and Europe the same game is called Green Beret. The North American name is a play on "Russian attack," a nod to its Cold War setting.

The NES version changes the goal. Instead of rescuing prisoners, you fight your way to the enemy headquarters to destroy a secret weapon. Konami also added two stages: an airport between the Missile Base and the Harbor, and a final stage inside the enemy base where you disarm a nuclear missile.

The flamethrower from the arcade was removed, so the special weapons are the rocket launcher and grenades. Two new power-ups appear: a Star for brief invincibility and a pistol with unlimited ammo. Two players can team up in simultaneous co-op.
