Most-played Green Beret games
Rush'n Attack
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)Action
Rush'n Attack is a side-scrolling action game developed and published by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987. It is the console version of the arcade game known in Japan as Green Beret, and places a lone commando behind enemy lines during a Cold War-style military operation. The game combines platforming with fast arcade combat. The commando primarily uses a combat knife, while temporary weapons add variety and firepower. Four compact stages demand quick movement, enemy recognition, and careful use of limited opportunities. Its intense pace and memorable knife-focused combat helped make it a recognized NES action title, although its difficulty and limited continues can be demanding.
Green Beret
Arcade SystemsAction
Green Beret is a 1985 arcade action platformer developed and published by Konami. In some markets it was released under the title Rush'n Attack. The player controls an unnamed commando infiltrating enemy military installations to rescue prisoners and destroy hostile forces. Its defining feature is close-range combat: the commando begins with a knife and can collect temporary weapons from defeated enemies or containers. The game combines side-scrolling movement with fixed combat stages, demanding quick reactions rather than careful exploration. Its Cold War-inspired setting, aggressive pacing, and memorable weapon system made it a notable Konami arcade release. Reception was generally positive, although the difficulty and limited opportunities to recover from mistakes were challenging even by contemporary arcade standards.
