Very hard, but very fun retro game from Namco. You play as secret agent code named:Albatross. Your mission is to rescue your ally, Leila from the terrorist organization Geldra.

I don't think I've ever seen this one before. I must have missed it due to being a Tengen game. They didn't get the best press coverage back in the NES days. It looks really challenging. I probably would have enjoyed it back in the day, but not being able shoot up would kill it for me today.

I remember playing this, and it's subsequent sequels, in the arcade many moons ago. Very difficult but extremely fun to play!

I used to play this in the arcade, although I never got really far in it. I just remember the Gamepro article of the NES port ending with, "Don't give the enemy a chance! Shoot to kill!"
*H-Man as Chaz, looks at Rika, aka Paula* Chaz-Man- "Hey, I've been wandering around Motavia for quite a while with you now. It says in that weird blue box up there that one more battle with a sandworm and we can level up to husband and wife!"
