This is actually a really nice port of this. More true to the original than the more popular NES version. Sound is a little horrid though, when you get into the tank it really starts to fall apart, or perhaps it's just not emulating right.
God i loved this when i was a kid! 2 player was mayhem! Wish i never sold my ST, I had 5 shoe boxes full of games and demos, I only had turrican 2 and jimmy whites snooker original though! I actually feel guilty about that now though, piracy is bad mmmkay!
I loved this game on my ST! I even remember a cheat code.
Get enough points to get on the high-score board, and type your name as "Freeride" It will make you bulletproof. (It takes most of the fun out of the game though)
i LOVED this game as a kid in the 6th grade. still fun to play but you have to be with a buddy. btw, IKARI means "anger" in japanese. so there you have it. anger warriors! heh
Not only did I have the game for my Atari ST, I also remember when "Hot Shots Part Deux" made a spoof of this game when a soilder who gets shot, spinned around one time and fell. Hehe.. Check it out.
This was a great game. I remember going up against the giant tanks boss monster. Come on, it dos'nt matter which console was better. You think about this, and your a kid again. It opens so many doors.God, I thought I was, Rambo.I remember the team player option, Me and my bro would play plan things out. The big Bright red grenades that blew up the whole screen. Outstanding.
If I were hit by a shell from a tank, I know the first thing I'd want to do is put my arms out and spin round and round.

I'm only 23 but this video makes me feel so old and so nostalgic at the same time.

Why do most ST games look crappier than C64 games.

Only 8bits convert were that crappy.
Starting 88-89 St games looked ok.
