- Cleaned, tested, and guaranteed to play. Authentic cartridge.
- Run-and-gun gameplay sends an elite Special Forces commando through enemy-heavy stages with constant shooting, jumping, and hazard avoidance.
- Weapon variety includes rapid-fire machine guns and high-tech lasers for fighting Red Falcon’s galactic henchmen.
- Stage settings include the Amazon Jungle, ancient Mayan temples, 3-D maze sections, underground security systems, tropical forests, giant waterfalls, and alien cannons.
