Operation Wolf, Commodore 64 game music, Jonathan Dunn
20Commodore 64 game music from one of the best ports of this number 1 arcade smash. I had so much fun playing this one in the arcades and when I first played this on the C64 I was surprised how faithful it was trying to be.
Catchy music from Jonathan Dunn
Operation Wolf is the conversion of the arcade machine game with the same name from 1988. This game was one of the first ego shooter games: The backgrounds scrolls from left to right while helicopters, tanks and soldiers appear from all sides and shoot at you. Brand-new for this time was that you play the game from the first person perspective and the enemies shoot directly out of the screen at you. Ocean has made a great C64 conversion that does not need to hide behind the arcade machine: The game is pure adrenaline!
As ammunition there is a limited number of magazines and grenades available. More supply appears sometimes at the lower border of the screen and can be picked up by shooting it.
The aim of the combat mission is to free the captives and indemnification of their safe evacuation. The game has 6 levels.
