When I was playing this game, there was always a fun exploit me and my friends used to use. If you wait a while in an area, three rifle guards run on-screen, fire a burst off, and "motivate" you to move ahead (due to the fact that guns kill in one hit, this usually cost you a life). If you were quick, however, you could hit and kill one of the guards, allowing you to steal one of their rifles - this worked on every level, even those without rifle dudes. They trivialize the green berets and last boss.

Apparently you're an "unsung hero" in this game, because for all your brutal hand-to-hand combat and destruction of enemy troops and equipment, you're anticlimactically and unceremoniously airlifted away to safety, without even a congratulatory cutscreen. Hell, there's not even a shot of him with his head out the side door of the helicopter, looking wistfully over the carnage below, or even a wave of "I made it!" to the player. Talk about thankless work! Boo, hiss, we want an ending, fire the director, and all that.

This game was amazing. Very rare where I lived. I think it got banned from most arcades in Canada because it "broke all the rules" so to speak. The main character can use a gun to shoot enemy soldiers. At the time, only gun violence against "aliens" was allowed. If you look at similar games, the player never gets a gun in Double Dragon. Golden Axe is set in a medieval fantasy world setting. TMNT is comic book characters and such. P.O.W. was about a real life war scenario with human on human combat and all the realistic weapons like knives, guns, and grenades. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure it got banned from most places for being too realistic and too violent. :) (Keep in mind this was 1988 and the world had never seen games like Call of Duty, etc.)

If you saved some bullets from the gun, you could've killed the boss with one shot, and also kill him MULTIPLE TIMES, each kill worth 10000 points each! Also, stabbing the enemies gives the same score as killing them, so throwing them a knife without killing them and then finish them will give double the points. Great video! ;)
