I was 9 or 10 years old when I played this game for the first time in the early of 90's and that was one of the toughest game I have ever played...this was truly a cold war game...

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

The NES version of Russian Attack was HARD! I was born in 1973 in Seattle, and played this when I was 11-12 at first. The arcade version seemed a little bit easier.

[@ironyuppie2089]

We need you to destroy a nondescript “secret weapon,” and you’ll be heading alone into a heavily fortified enemy base with no backup and armed with nothing but a knife. Now put on this non standard issue, extremely conspicuous and loud bright blue uniform and make sure you conduct all operations in broad daylight. Good luck soldier!

[@cameronlee888]

Iron Yuppie On the bright side, the enemy soldiers are well versed in the military tactic of “run directly at your target.”

[@bonfire5736]

Cameron Lee Except for the ones that Mega Jump Kick™️ in the air then continue running the same direction.

[@ArmstrongArcade]

Soundtrack is a jam! Thanks for posting.

[@gnussyflarkin]

I'll always have a special place in my heart for this game. Kind of makes me yearn for the days of the cold war again.

[@wittyag]

Well here we are.

[@gnussyflarkin]

@@wittyag - Looks like I made that comment in 2016. It sure didn't age well. :/

What kind of person wants another cold war? The 11 idiots who like your comment need help too lol

[@greyfox4577]

Did anyone who played this as a kid have the Nintendo Players guide? it was a book with reviews, strategy guides and cheats for some games, Rush N attack was one of them but the odd thing that made me go crazy was that in the book it mentioned that if you blew up certain land mines in certain levels you would go to secret underground passages, so I desperately played and played for years attempting to find those secret passages to no avail, then years after I lost the strategy guide I wondered to myself, maybe I imagined it? so i looked it up, I bought the book online and there they were again, the secret underground levels! but they are nowhere to be found in the game, so I did a bit more research and found out there is a Famicom Disk version which is basically a copy of the game with minor changes like fewer lives and things like that but the secret levels are there as well....basically the review was from the Famicom version not the NES and why they didnt bother to mention that or why they had the levels removed is beyond me, at least i knew I was not crazy but only after 20 years or so.

[@saarland2china]

NICE STORY! AMAZING!! Those were the days....

[@Lakiesha33]

greyfox4577 I did but I could not beat it.

[@johnphilip8848]

Hahaha that's awesome dude. I'm glad you were able to find closure! 7-year old me and my 5-year old sister used to play this for hours, but she never made it past stage 3, and I never made it past the paratrooper bosses on stage 5. If only I knew how close we were to beating the game!

[@dannyboy_wv77]

This was the first NES game I ever saw played. It was the spring of 1988 I was in 5th grade I bought the game that summer loved the music in it probably my favorite besides the original Zelda miss the 80's!

[@tobbehellstrom3509]

True i miss The 80 too

[@huaxiong90]

As usual, Konami 8-bit music is awesome.

[@VahanNisanian]

Among many other classic Konami sound effects, the rocket launcher sound effect from NES Metal Gear 1 is featured here.

[@DanielSong39]

The door sound effect, dog bark, and a few others I'm probably missing.

[@ChrisW164]

Thank you. I have long wanted to see what this game looked like when it was well-played, and I never came close. Excellent job.

[@JagofTroy]

I do not disagree. I just found it funny how all they gave the single commando was a knife to take on the entire enemy army but then again, they only sent Solid Snake in with a pack of cigarettes and a huge ass radio. ~JagOfTroy

[@JoeyRottenwood]

I love those dogs on the submarine. They look like mutant badgers and make weird static noises.

[@merikishtar]

The music in the last stage though oh and also when you get the star

[@GundamWing82]

Hard as hell to beat

[@largol33t1]

Play this at 2x speed. Loads of laughs! Brings back the memories too!

[@AngeloGuarinojusttowash]

i've been searching for it (didn't remember the name) like for decades... im crying out :D

[@DS-lw4tn]

When i first played this in an ice arena arcade in Ft Lauderdale back in 1987 I thought the green beret was a Cobra Tele Viper. Not the worst days to grow up as a kid back then.

[@fozzie5000]

I could always remember playing this game. Forgot it’s name. Cheers

[@Pai3000]

Now that´s a decent 8-bit castle demolition...

[@newmsioworld3525]

I like this Konami-Activision game from 1987.

Isn´t that barbed wire at the top of the fence at the end of the level?

[@saarland2china]

Well played! I think this games is so hard. Still today.

[@kencook662]

If u a 90s kid, agree with me that we had the real games in our Generation 🙌🏿💪🏿🙌🏿💪🏿

[@dawnbreaker2912]

Only if one is blinded by nostalgia. Games, overall, are objectively better now.

[@gradian3701]

this is not 90s

[@milkcarton6654]

If you played this in the 90's, agree with me that your family was broke ass and couldn't afford a Genesis or Snes.

[@gregmottola8539]

Objectively more powerful. Objectively more sophisticated. But more fun? That's subjective.

Is This a good game ???

[@nilmn6687]

Yes. But hard.

[@animalchandler]

This is one of those games that is insanely difficult if you don't have, or use the wrong strategy. Also you can charge at red soldiers and they will jump over you harmlessly.

Heh, same here. We used to wake up super early on weekday mornings and we'd play together until it was time for me to go to school.

Who's here because the Russians just invaded the Ukraine?

[@pingamalinga]

NATO should send one blue guy.

[@dontesanders7728]

Definitely one of the most DIFFICULT games in the history of video games. Ranks up there with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Battle toads, Contra and Ninja Gaiden as one of the most difficult games of all time.

[@jaysun6]

Don't forget about Rygar🤪

[@Matt-mp5py]

TMNT was fine. Ninja Gaiden might as well have been Dark Souls, but harder.

[@DavidFlores-ix2cy]

and Ghosts'n Goblins from NES.

[@IAmSpider]

I always enjoyed this game as a kid. The music is great albeit short, and I loved the absurdity of the whole thing (the US sending 2 soldiers armed only with knives against the whole Russian army). But, I always obsessed over the poor walk cycles of the game characters.

[@erice7563]

That sure brought back some sweet memories! Thanks :)

[@Fargusno7930]

I remember playing this when I was in kindergarten!!! Back then, I call this game "Soldier on the Bridge" because of the bridge on the beginning of the first stage

[@Stellerex]

This game was crazy hard as a kid. Great gameplay thanks for sharing.

[@Bancheis]

Funny part is many/most kids could not play this game today. They would complain about the controls, not know how to do things, try to Google it, fail, then give up after dying a bunch. The same people who play Dark Souls.

[@uSTAYFROSTY]

at 10:51 I dropped my controller to render a salute.

[@MrPhantaze]

How destructive that secret weapon even was, if our hero evaded it's explosion by running away?

[@VicViperT301Pilot]

Rush N' Attack- a great example an era of video games that actually required skill to beat.

[@antoinecampbell7473]

How relevant of the game title today.

[@SonicTheHedgehog17]

Most of you probably know that, but if you read the title correctly, it means "Russian Attack".

[@jhudieltheone308]

I missed playing rush n attack. It was a fun game

I do remember this game growing up. Played in the arcade. Just finished watching game scoop which compelled me to check it out again after all these years! Music is great too.

[@bestbigbros1102]

I was 6 years old when i played this and i got to the final stage without ever beating it.. Bought it again recently and im struggling to get past the second stage -_- 5 year old Best Bro really was super best...

I have trouble believing this was never Longplayed by these guys! This game is a classic. Used to love it so.

So all i have to do is to hit the massive nuclear warhead with a bazooka and run like hell? seems legit!

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

great game

[@JohnSmithZen]

This game used to drive me NUTS. Any point from the space suit grenade droppers at the end of board 2 on, and my heart was FLYING. Don't think i ever got past end of board 5. GREAT FUN!!!

My mom had a nickname for the soldiers who'd climb the ladders and come after you. She'd call them 'Speedy.' "Oh God, it's Speedy again!"
