Rush’n Attack is a classic side-scrolling action game released for the NES in 1987 by Konami, where you infiltrate enemy territory armed with nothing but a combat knife. As a special forces operative, your mission is to rescue prisoners of war while surviving a relentless onslaught of enemy soldiers, paratroopers, and guard dogs.
How to Play
The objective is to reach the end of each stage, defeat the area boss, and proceed deeper into enemy territory. You start with only a knife for close-quarters combat. Defeating specific enemies, typically highlighted in different colors, drops powerful but limited-use weapons like bazookas, grenades, and invincibility stars.
NES Controls:
- Arrow Keys: Move left/right, crouch (Down), and climb ladders (Up/Down)
- Z: Jump
- X: Attack with your current weapon
- Enter: Start / Pause
Tips
- Master the jump-attack: Jumping and stabbing simultaneously is essential for dealing with enemies on different elevations and dodging low attacks.
- Save heavy weapons: Conserve your bazooka rounds and grenades for the challenging boss encounters at the end of each stage.
- Watch your step: Pay close attention to the ground, as stepping on hidden landmines results in an instant loss of a life.
