Final Commando: Akai Yousai

Pretty straightforward and well playable shooter game similar to overhead "run and gun" games, just that you are driving a jeep instead of running around on foot. The Famicom Disk System version is a bit different to the US cartridge version. One level is missing, and the levels are strictly vertically scrolling, thus also making in some changes in level design. A rare case that the Japanese version feels actually to be the inferior version. The good playability is still there however and the except for the name on the title screen the game is completely in English as well.

Infrared satellites soaring miles above Earth have spotted dozens of American prisoners of war still trapped on enemy soil. Missing for years but never forgotten, these men must be brought home. But America is in no position to risk an all-out invasion that could prompt retaliation. Instead, the only possible hope for their freedom is a small scale commando raid - code name JACKAL.
