Rush'n Attack, also released under the title Green Beret, is a 1985 run-and-gun arcade shooter developed by Konami. The player controls a soldier tasked with infiltrating an enemy military base, progressing through hostile territory while engaging opposing forces. Originally an arcade release, the game was subsequently ported to a wide range of home platforms, including the BBC Microcomputer System, Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64/128/MAX, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 16, DOS, Amstrad CPC, MSX, and Xbox 360. The core gameplay centers on close-quarters combat and forward momentum, placing the player in a series of dangerous environments within the base. Its release across numerous home systems in the mid-1980s helped establish it as a recognizable title in Konami's early catalog of action-oriented arcade conversions.
The player takes on the role of a United States special operations soldier infiltrating an enemy military base in order to save several POW's from being executed by firing squad. There are four stages: a Marshalling Area, a Harbor, an Air Base and a Siberian Camp. The omnipresent knife can be supplemented with captured arms. By killing certain enemy soldiers, the player can obtain a three-shot flamethrower, a four-shot RPG, or a three-pack of hand grenades. At the end of each stage, the player will face a unique group of enemies specific to that stage: Stage 1 ends with a truckload of running and jump kicking soldiers, Stage 2 with a pack of fierce dogs, Stage 3 with three shooting autogyros and Stage 4 with a skillful multi-shot flamethrower operator. When the mission is accomplished the four rescued POWs salute and the player restarts the game from the first stage on the next difficulty level. While the player can remain still in one area and rack up points, if he takes too long to proceed, the game will start sending out tougher enemies and eventually a stealth-like bomber will appear to take out the player. There's also an invisible time limit that will kill off the player if he takes too long to complete the stage.
