"Guerrilla War... What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again."

That about sums up this very bad arcade conversion. Almost totally unplayable and virtually impossible to complete without cheating as enemy soldiers stampede you out of nowhere, and each time you die (about 50 times on average) you lose your weapon.

Also, the game doesn't scroll downwards, so dying in the wrong place traps you!

End-of-level bosses are as retarded as they come. You simply stand to one side and grenade their asses while they shoot everywhere (except where you're standing).

You can't even destroy the main fortress/outpost/whatever on the last level without skipping to the end.

The subtitle for this was "Hail the Heroes" though it might as well be, "Hail the HERPES", seeing as the code is infested with the digital version of it.

It does have a nice Jonathan Dunn soundtrack going for it, at least. At the very least.
