There aren't many arcade games like this. It's like an action/puzzle/strategy game. When I first played this, I was just like "This sucks". But then after reading more about what you could do in it, I thought it was really unique. You start the game with three characters, and you either have to get each of them to the exit, or you have to kill all the enemies on screen. There are people you rescue in certain levels, and you can play as them in the next stage if you successfully escort them to the exit. If the character you're playing as gets killed by an enemy, they have to be saved too, and if the next character that comes out gets killed, the one before that character can't be saved. Really unique for an arcade action game. Especially being that this was released in 1988. The Genesis/Mega Drive version is available on the PS2/PSP Genesis/MegaDrive collection, and on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection/Sega MegaDrive Collection for the PS3 and 360, and it's available on the Virtual Console as well.
