    NES Box Art: Hudson Hawk 

    Hudson Hawk is a platform game developed by Special FX for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum based on the film of the same name. It was released in 1991 and published by Ocean Software. Sony Imagesoft released it in the US for the Game Boy and NES. A SNES version was in development, but was cancelled when the film flopped.

    Hudson Hawk is a side-scrolling platform game developed in 1991 for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, NES and Game Boy and based on the Bruce Willis movie of the same name. A Super NES version was also in development but was cancelled when the movie flopped.

    The computer version were released by Ocean and I believe they were only available officially in Europe. This is a shame since they generally got better reviews than the NES version, particularly the Commodore 64 version. The Nintendo versions were released by Sony Imagesoft and were available in the U.S. but it was a pretty mediocre movie license. Not really a great movie and not really a great game.

    Above is the box art for the Nintendo (NES) version.

    Rush’n Attack, known as Greet Beret in Japan and Europe, was an arcade game released in 1985 by Konami. This Cold War themed game (Rush’n Attack = Russian Attack, get it? haha…) involved rescuing prisoners from a POW camp.

    There have been quite a few home conversions over the years. In 1986, ports were created for the Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit and other 8-bit home computers. In 1987 a Nintendo (NES) version was released. In 1989 DOS and Commodore Plus/4 versions were released.

    There have also been several later remakes. A version appears on the Game Boy Advance compilation, Konami Collector’s Series: Arcade Advance (I have this one!) and on another compilation for the Nintendo DS called Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits. The original arcade version was released on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360. Both the original was available and a remake with improved graphics and sound. An official sequel was also released in 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 titled Rush’n Attack: Ex-Patriot.

    Rush’n Attack generally received good reviews and is overall a very good side scrolling shooter/platform game. It even appeared on IGN’s top 100 NES games (at 99). I am more familiar with the Commodore 64 version which was quite good but I always thought it was also quite difficult and I never really made it very far.
