Guerrilla War, released in Japan as Guevara, is an overhead run and gun game produced by SNK. Originally released for arcades in 1987 as a coin-operated arcade game, Guerrilla War was later ported to Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Commodore 64, NES, PlayStation Network, and ZX Spectrum.
Guerrilla War follows the adventures of two unnamed rebel commandos as they raid an unnamed island in order to free it from the rule of an unnamed tyrannical dictator. Along the way the players vanquish hordes of enemy soldiers while attempting to rescue hostages (with large score reductions for any hostages killed in the crossfire), collecting weapons from troopers and operating tanks.
This is one of those classic games that I have always loved. My brother and I used to play it all the time on our NES when we were kids. It seemed like we would be playing it for hours from the beginning all the way to the end, but it appears it really only took us 45 minutes – because that’s how long it took Murphy Jr. and I to finish the game.
During the stream, I was running the MESEN Emulator application and a downloadable copy of SNK’s Class Guerrilla war, you can download MESEN (NES version) HERE and MESEN-S (SNES version) HERE for free
