Description

Set against the backdrop of the 1931 Prohibition era, players take on the role of a skilled hitman challenging a massive mafia organization. This 3D-perspective action shooter tests your reflexes, requiring you to aim with an 8-way joystick and gun down waves of emerging enemies. You must exercise caution regarding ammunition limits, time-based depletion, and the risk of shooting hostages, all while utilizing bonus items for resupply as you aim to conquer all eight stages. Please note that since the game's release in 1986, it has been reported that the in-game audio plays at a lower pitch in certain environments.

Story

Set in 1931 America, this is a shooting game that depicts the battle between a criminal organization plotting to take control of the city and a lone gunman standing against them. As a detective, the player takes up a rifle to restore peace to the city, eliminating the organization's assassins one after another. Featuring a format where players target and shoot enemies on screen, the game unfolds in a hard-boiled world reminiscent of a classic gangster film.
