Rush’n Attack (Green Beret in Japan and Europe) is a side-scrolling run-and-gun action game developed and published by Konami for the NES, ported from the 1985 arcade original. A U.S. Special Forces soldier infiltrates Cold War enemy bases, dispatching soldiers mainly with a combat knife and picking up limited-ammo weapons, to destroy a secret superweapon. The NES version adds two-player co-op.
