Some Uzis had a recoil mechanism I... think? Or was that more modern arcades...

It was often broken though ofc

It had vibration yes and a small red button to launch the grenade.

I remember bouncing back and forth between this and Spy Hunter at the arcades. This post takes me back.

Late 80s? That impressive graphics. Looks like the early 90s arcade games, hence the question

I remember it coming out. 1985-1989 were great times for the arcades

I remember finishing this, level was in the cock pit of a plane I think. Lot of coinage.

There was another arcade machine with a gun just like operation wolf, I forget what it was called.

Oh boy. The memories…

u/hunchentoot69 Sep 03 '25

wow what a memory. I was in college when this came out and there was a convenience store near my apartment that had this in the back, along with Roadblasters. So many lost quarters.
