Developed and published by Ocean in 1989

This is, in most respects, a really did conversion of the coin-op arcade game. I think that Ocean France did a great job on recreating the gameplay, and I think the graphics and sound are improvements on the original.

There are, however, two major issues:

1) Throwing grenades is activated by pushing down and pressing the fire button. of course, as you're constantly moving your aim up and down all the time, this results in an involuntary grenade spam that results in you chewing through your supply really quickly.

2) Unlike the arcade, the forward roll doesn't make you invincible to bullets or explosions, which makes the move rather useless.

Again, the lack of separate buttons meant the developers mapped the roll to pushing down + left/right, which means you'll find yourself rolling around on the floor at the most inopportune moments.
