Not as far as I know...

Nope. It was a seperate game. It was called Green Beret in other countries (where the joke didn't work).

Interestingly the NES version adds a few new levels (the machine gun towers for one) and changes the last boss. I never like it for that reason.

I love the thrill of killing Commies in the morning.

(For those who don't get the joke, it's supposed to be 'Russian Attack' where you're infiltrating Russia to destroy their new top secret weapon. Naturally, this was made during the Cold War, when the USSR was still our enemy.)

Stage 2 - 41100

This game is very frustrating for me.

[mojofltr]

Stage 2 - 51800

I'm sort of getting the hang of it, I think. This game is tough.

[LarcenTyler]

A little better, but that damned airport stage is so hard.

Watch this video to see:

Tool-assisted speedrun (two-player).

EDIT: Looks like six stages.

[rjchamp3]

id say by 10pm ill max-out this game at 999,999

New score is 119,200

[8th lutz]

125.400

[rjchamp3]

CHAMPION AGAIN 196,200 AND STILL WORKING ON IT

[gdement]

I got to the last level once about... 18 years ago, but died there. Today I played about 10 times before finally breaking through and having a much better game.

For great justice.
I did it. Add this game to the beaten list.


I died on the boss of level 5 my 2nd time through. The difficulty didn't change at all on the 2nd lap, so it wouldn't be too hard for a bored person to max this out. 3 laps would do it.

546,200

[vdub_bobby]

And we're done! Well done, everybody; hope you had fun fighting those pesky Ruskies!
