..Rush 'n Attack.. that was "Green Beret" on the c64, no? The thing about the game is that I think it initially had a couple of cutscene segments where you shot russians off a wall with a machine-gun, or something like that. ..Or maybe that was another similar game. Point is that all of these games - Contra as well, even if the first release of it was about shooting aliens - ended up with a justification for being released with that open patriotic slur in one way or another. Rush 'n Attack - Russian Attack. Contra - Shoot commies in Nicaragua. Those were extremely simple and - apart from the outerworld appeal - boring games, but they ended up being pushed very hard at the time.

Right. They added some more sellable/awesome outerworld context. Killing aliens, or just freeing prisoners from bad guys wasn't enough :D

Ha shit, I just read this review now and it's awesome. Rocky V, indeed. You just saved me points, cuz I was considering picking this thing up.

Hopefully you'll buy a better game with those points! And even though I'm gonna sound like a broken record, thanks for reading.
