Aim of the game
Swamped by gangland crime, the New York Police Department have
hired a mercenary - you - to wipe out the city's gangsters. You've
been sent to the city's toughest district with a sniper rifle - but
there are many guns trained on you...
Game play
Much like Operation Wolf - scroll around the
playing area, shoot the bad guys, etc. An arrow at the bottom of the
screen points you towards the target but doesn't give the killer's
vertical position. An on-screen countdown will begin following
which the gunman will shoot (although you can try dodging the
bullets!).
Comments
"A straightforward shoot-em-up with an original scenario
which could have led to a great game".

Now
A simple but rather under-rated game, albeit slightly spoilt by
the poor scrolling.
