- TRIVIA -


Released in August 1990.


As odd as it may sound, this is one of the very few game that lets you use melee attacks with some firearms without actually firing a single shot, this allows you to use these only when you really need extra firepower! It is so strange that this idea is not used more often! :)

* Timer Bonus: If you destroy the bosses quickly, you can get bonus points.
