Green Beret, also known as Rush’n Attack, is a classic 1985 arcade action game developed by Konami. Players take on the role of a lone special forces soldier infiltrating a highly guarded enemy base to rescue POWs. Known for its challenging gameplay and focus on close-quarters combat, the game arms you primarily with a trusty combat knife, though you can temporarily acquire specialized weapons like a flamethrower or rocket launcher from defeated enemy officers.
How to Play
The objective is to survive four scrolling stagesโa Missile Base, Harbor, Bridge, and Prison Campโeliminating enemies and reaching the POWs at the end. Arcade controls are typically mapped to your keyboard: use the arrow keys to move, climb ladders, and duck. Press the Z key to use your knife or acquired special weapon, and the X key to jump.
Tips
- Prioritize taking out the orange-clad enemy commanders; they drop valuable secondary weapons like the flamethrower or bazooka that make progressing through crowded areas much easier.
- Master the jump attack: attacking with your knife while in mid-air is crucial for dispatching enemies safely and avoiding low-level hazards.
- Memorize the attack patterns of the different enemy types, especially the martial artists and paratroopers, as the game requires quick reflexes and precision to survive its intense difficulty.
