In this video, I'm doing a playthrough of a game that is a spiritual successor to Green Beret (also known as Rush'n Attack). That game is: M.I.A. (aka Missing in Action) for the Arcade. This game was developed and published by Konami, it was only released in the arcade in 1989. The game is influenced by popular action movies of the time such as Commando, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Missing in Action. Missing in Action was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs on December 15, 2010. The gameplay goes like this: Player 1 take on the roles of a US Army special operations Green beret and Player 2 takes the role of a soldier of the United Nations in cooperative mode. Players must infiltrating enemy POW camps in Vietnam to find prisoners of wars and lead them to freedom. Like its predecessor, there are a total of six levels in the game: war-torn field, jungle, airstrip, rail-yard, POW camp, and escaping POW camp. M.I.A. can be played by up to two players, with Player 1 in green and Player 2 in blue. Throughout most of the game, the player's main weapon is a knife, which is capable of destroying any enemy in the game. By killing the red enemy soldiers, the player can acquire additional weapons. The available weapons consist of an assault rifle (12 rounds), a flamethrower (2 rounds), a bazooka (3 rounds), and grenades (3 rounds). Unlike Green Beret, the player can carry more than one weapon and switch between them at will. If the player loses a life, then only their currently equipped weapon will be lost. At the end of each level, an assorted number of troops on fixed machine gun positions (usually four) that must be eliminated. On the last mission of the game, the freed hostages are susceptible to being slain by enemies; if all the POWs get killed then "MISSION FAILED" flashes on the screen and the game is permanently over. I almost made it to the end with two hostages, but unfortunately the enemy killed the hostage and I only get the last hostage to the helicopter, but at least I tried. There were three versions of M.I.A.: Versions S and T, which were produced for the American and international markets, and a Japanese version. In some versions, the order of the first four stages is randomized. In the Japanese version, every second stage scrolls from left-to-right instead of right-to-left as in the international versions. Overall, M.I.A. (aka Missing in Action) is a pretty fun game by Konami and I highly recommend to give this a try. I hope you enjoy this playthrough of M.I.A. (aka Missing in Action) for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
