Rush'n Attack (NES) Playthrough

My personal favorite. I remember being a kid and that invincibility song made me actually feel invincible.

[@dynamo4543]

such a great game great memories playing this

To think the only one is in stage 3, so once you hear it, and clear the stage, you won't hear it again the rest of the game.

Rush'n Attack is basically Contra with knives instead of guns. Need I say any more?

[@rjcupid]

Very skilled play through of a very hard game. It's so satisfying to shoot a "missile" through an entire screen of enemies running at you in a row like they're in a conga line.

[@NintendoComplete]

@Burnt Fishy Lol yeah that's what I meant.

@@rjcupid Thanks!

[@billsimms2511]

Much harder than Contra

[@not2tired]

If Contra used up for jump and you couldn't change momentum midair... then, yes

The first nes game i ever played. Christmas morning 1987. Zelda was 2nd. Great memories. Before that it was all atari. And colecovision.

[@Blitzerpump]

Love this game. My cousin had it in the mid 80s. Picked up a copy for myself in 2023. Brings back memories. Ladders are the biggest threat in this game. Stay away from them while jumping or attacking since the control scheme is up for jump; often you get stuck on a ladder and are a sitting duck for the enemy.

[@rjcupid]

11:19: This song is such a Konami musical hidden gem. The first time I got that far and heard this song it blew me away. Love it.

What about the Rush’ns, who make their men jog slowly - and barehanded - towards the guy with the knife, and only let the yellow guys have a gun? That’s some Battle of Stalingrad shit right there!

Good game, was pretty hard for me back in the day. Took a while to finish and learn all ins and outs to play it well...

Brings back memories!!! Konami always had the best music.

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

For me its a toss up between them and Capcom. Can’t go wrong with either.

[@rogerpettersson8836]

Good play. Remember playing this as a kid, never finished the whole thing.

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

Rush'n Attack was also the US arcade name as well, FYI. I've owned the PCB twice (it's cheap for an arcade board), and it also came on the Konami GBA collection.

[@angeloborreggine4820]

Man i completely forgot about this game. I just got a dose of nostalgia that made my soul smile.

[@Zaxares]

Probably the toughest thing about this game was how in single player, if you died, like a lot of other side-scrolling games of the time, it would punt you back to the beginning of the level and you had to run it all over again. There WAS a "cheat" you could do to make it easier though, which was to start a 2-player game, then simply let the 2nd player die. In 2-player mode, the game just lets the dead player respawn immediately instead of kicking you back to the start of the level (because naturally it can't do that if the other player was still playing), but it would let you keep this advantage even after the 2nd player was already dead. Some other games I can remember this trick working on included the Rescue Rangers NES game, as well as the ultra-hard Ninja Crusaders.

[@rjcupid]

Thanks for the tip, I never knew that.

Co op was great but if your teammate wasn’t good it would kill your chances of going far in the game

The NES looks pretty tough, but fun to play! [like its arcade counterpart - The latter's available on the Archive Archives] Rush n' Attack/Green Beret (Both versions) has to be one of the foremost titles with a heavy Cold War theme during the 80's to early 90's. Others I can think of are with Jackal and Task Force Harrier.

[@Andinus3000]

I mean come on Rush'n Attack.. they weren't exactly trying to be too cryptic with a title like that in reference to the cold war.

Legend has it that in the Famicom Disk System version of Rush 'N Attack, there were hidden underground passages that can be uncovered when certain land mines were detonated by a weapon. They were taken out of the NES version, apparently.

This might be the hardest game I've ever played. I can now get to the final stage after all the years

[@Rykiz_Vidz]

Part of the reason this game is so damn hard is that (if I'm not mistaken) when you jump over the landmines, the jump button is select. Having to move your hands off the controls to press select each time and while you were in the air enemies would spawn.

[@mr.g4990]

You jump with up on the d-pad. It gets problematic when you jump and get stuck on a ladder.
