I used to play this in Playdium Hastings. I got to finish it once, very hard. It talks about farming at the end. Loved the giant flying saucers that you had to bomb to hit.

@spud020871 That's hard core. I can't finish it.

Ultra macked out game. Man I used to play the heck out of this back in middle school. I could get pretty far -- better than when I played most games.

this was a pretty hard game to get good at. many many quarters. after level 2 it got way harder

for it's time, assault was quite innovative for it's use of Mode-7 (the chip that made scaling and zooming possible on the super nintendo/super famicom) like graphics

I remember this game. I loved it, but it was damned hard.

One of my all-time favorites, bar none. I eventually got good enough at the arcade version to finish it without any continues.

I've never been so good at a game before or since. Even now, I can't beat the PSX version yet. Haven't gotten used to using the original PS1 analog controller (the only one that seems to work right for the game).

You can also find this on Namco Museum Classics (volume 4?) on PS1.
