I was 9 or 10 years old when I played this game for the first time in the early of 90's and that was one of the toughest game I have ever played...this was truly a cold war game...
The NES version of Russian Attack was HARD! I was born in 1973 in Seattle, and played this when I was 11-12 at first. The arcade version seemed a little bit easier.
I do remember this game growing up. Played in the arcade. Just finished watching game scoop which compelled me to check it out again after all these years! Music is great too.
We need you to destroy a nondescript “secret weapon,” and you’ll be heading alone into a heavily fortified enemy base with no backup and armed with nothing but a knife. Now put on this non standard issue, extremely conspicuous and loud bright blue uniform and make sure you conduct all operations in broad daylight. Good luck soldier!
I remember playing this when I was in kindergarten!!! Back then, I call this game "Soldier on the Bridge" because of the bridge on the beginning of the first stage
This was the first NES game I ever saw played. It was the spring of 1988 I was in 5th grade I bought the game that summer loved the music in it probably my favorite besides the original Zelda miss the 80's!
This game used to drive me NUTS. Any point from the space suit grenade droppers at the end of board 2 on, and my heart was FLYING. Don't think i ever got past end of board 5. GREAT FUN!!!
Did anyone who played this as a kid have the Nintendo Players guide? it was a book with reviews, strategy guides and cheats for some games, Rush N attack was one of them but the odd thing that made me go crazy was that in the book it mentioned that if you blew up certain land mines in certain levels you would go to secret underground passages, so I desperately played and played for years attempting to find those secret passages to no avail, then years after I lost the strategy guide I wondered to myself, maybe I imagined it? so i looked it up, I bought the book online and there they were again, the secret underground levels! but they are nowhere to be found in the game, so I did a bit more research and found out there is a Famicom Disk version which is basically a copy of the game with minor changes like fewer lives and things like that but the secret levels are there as well....basically the review was from the Famicom version not the NES and why they didnt bother to mention that or why they had the levels removed is beyond me, at least i knew I was not crazy but only after 20 years or so.
Hahaha that's awesome dude. I'm glad you were able to find closure! 7-year old me and my 5-year old sister used to play this for hours, but she never made it past stage 3, and I never made it past the paratrooper bosses on stage 5. If only I knew how close we were to beating the game!
I remember never being able to beat this game as a kid. Glad I got to experience this on TH-cam after all these years as an adult to see what I was unable to reach.
I always enjoyed this game as a kid. The music is great albeit short, and I loved the absurdity of the whole thing (the US sending 2 soldiers armed only with knives against the whole Russian army). But, I always obsessed over the poor walk cycles of the game characters.
Definitely one of the most DIFFICULT games in the history of video games. Ranks up there with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Battle toads, Contra and Ninja Gaiden as one of the most difficult games of all time.
I do not disagree. I just found it funny how all they gave the single commando was a knife to take on the entire enemy army but then again, they only sent Solid Snake in with a pack of cigarettes and a huge ass radio. ~JagOfTroy
When i first played this in an ice arena arcade in Ft Lauderdale back in 1987 I thought the green beret was a Cobra Tele Viper. Not the worst days to grow up as a kid back then.
Ah. I somehow remember this from like 2 years old. At 0:18 I would wait for the sirens to finish and then start moving the moment the music started playing. For 18 years I've always remembered this but never went for it. But look at me now. Here seeing one of my earliest memories from being a very very young child.
This was the NES game i couldn't remember from another video, thanks for upload one of the best 2 player NES games , never realise back then rush 'n means Russian! doh! wanna watch arcade version as well
14:10 "Three cheers for the red, white and blue! Three cheers for the red, white, and blue, Oh, The stars and stripes forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue..."
I spend many hours into this game in my childhood days..i never came close.just overcome the 4 stage.5th stage is too much for me.very challenging game.because u cant continue once its gameover.very nice game.one of my favorites
I was 6 years old when i played this and i got to the final stage without ever beating it.. Bought it again recently and im struggling to get past the second stage -_- 5 year old Best Bro really was super best...
Actualy it refers to a strong impulse as some guys threaten the world with a nuclear attack and this dude bets with his comrades that he can go there and stop them all with nothing but a knife...
score another solid G.play by JagOfTroy! ahh, memories of my teenage years! as of today, I still can't go beyond the 2nd. stage- except when my good ol' buddy "the Genie" gives me a hand. has anyone played the arcade-only sequel, M.I.A., or the recent sequel for PSN & XBLA, Rush'n Attack: Ex-Patriot?
first nintendo game I got some 35 years ago RAGE quit slamming controller many many a time! Thank you for finally showing me what I couldn't do as a kid. (Why did they have to make it so freaken hard any way??!??)

Used to play this with my dad... some 25 years ago. This reminded me of those days. Thanks.
Heh, same here. We used to wake up super early on weekday mornings and we'd play together until it was time for me to go to school.
As usual, Konami 8-bit music is awesome.
I do remember this game growing up. Played in the arcade. Just finished watching game scoop which compelled me to check it out again after all these years! Music is great too.

Iron Yuppie On the bright side, the enemy soldiers are well versed in the military tactic of “run directly at your target.”
Cameron Lee Except for the ones that Mega Jump Kick™️ in the air then continue running the same direction.
@@cameronlee888 And the venerated tactic of "charge straight into your opponent's RPG round."
@@bonfire5736 Love that the "Mega Jump Kick" is trademarked.
Soundtrack is a jam! Thanks for posting.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for this game. Kind of makes me yearn for the days of the cold war again.
Well here we are.
@@wittyag - Looks like I made that comment in 2016. It sure didn't age well. :/
What kind of person wants another cold war? The 11 idiots who like your comment need help too lol
I missed playing rush n attack. It was a fun game
This was the first NES game I ever saw played. It was the spring of 1988 I was in 5th grade I bought the game that summer loved the music in it probably my favorite besides the original Zelda miss the 80's!
True i miss The 80 too
This game used to drive me NUTS. Any point from the space suit grenade droppers at the end of board 2 on, and my heart was FLYING. Don't think i ever got past end of board 5. GREAT FUN!!!

Those dogs are so hardcore that they plank after you kill them, or maybe they are skydive freefalling through the floor. Badass.
I have trouble believing this was never Longplayed by these guys!
This game is a classic. Used to love it so.
This was the only NES game that did not have an annoying music that gave you a headache after a while. Good music.
Dont't forget Mega Man. That game has great music
This game was crazy hard as a kid. Great gameplay thanks for sharing.

NICE STORY! AMAZING!! Those were the days....
greyfox4577 I did but I could not beat it.
Hahaha that's awesome dude. I'm glad you were able to find closure! 7-year old me and my 5-year old sister used to play this for hours, but she never made it past stage 3, and I never made it past the paratrooper bosses on stage 5. If only I knew how close we were to beating the game!
@@johnphilip8848 is she hot ?
How relevant of the game title today.
i finished this game many times as a kid. nice graphic and music made me couldnot stop playing this
Man, this game kicked my ass as a kid.
That sure brought back some sweet memories! Thanks :)
I grew up thinking it was "Russian Attack"
pretty sure it was purposeful word play
The Cold War fear definitely inspired a lot of video games and movies.
@@sleeplezznightz "If i can change you can change" - Rocky 4 after he beats Ivan Drago
Oh so I wasn't the only one lmao
me too
I remember never being able to beat this game as a kid. Glad I got to experience this on TH-cam after all these years as an adult to see what I was unable to reach.
And so, the Mailman saved the world!
Peace, at last!
Among many other classic Konami sound effects, the rocket launcher sound effect from NES Metal Gear 1 is featured here.
The door sound effect, dog bark, and a few others I'm probably missing.
I always enjoyed this game as a kid. The music is great albeit short, and I loved the absurdity of the whole thing (the US sending 2 soldiers armed only with knives against the whole Russian army). But, I always obsessed over the poor walk cycles of the game characters.
Definitely one of the most DIFFICULT games in the history of video games. Ranks up there with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Battle toads, Contra and Ninja Gaiden as one of the most difficult games of all time.
Don't forget about Rygar🤪
TMNT was fine. Ninja Gaiden might as well have been Dark Souls, but harder.
and Ghosts'n Goblins from NES.
Rush N' Attack- a great example an era of video games that actually required skill to beat.
Man, music in this game was always awesome.
Hard as hell to beat
Childhood Memories Love This Game🎮📺💯
Thank you. I have long wanted to see what this game looked like when it was well-played, and I never came close. Excellent job.
My mom had a nickname for the soldiers who'd climb the ladders and come after you. She'd call them 'Speedy.' "Oh God, it's Speedy again!"
I do not disagree.
I just found it funny how all they gave the single commando was a knife to take on the entire enemy army but then again, they only sent Solid Snake in with a pack of cigarettes and a huge ass radio.
~JagOfTroy
Just love the music in this game! 😊👍🏻
Man tell me about it
I remember my childhood with this. I played it in VCD Player (NOTE: This game is also in a CD by the name of 300 in 1)
+Fatih Meriç Özarslan 300 Games,i remember this cd,and i remember Super mario is in last page :D
+Fatih Meriç Özarslan me 2 I PLAY IN CD 300 IN 1`
Same dude xD that yellow background with 10 games in a page xD
Play this at 2x speed. Loads of laughs! Brings back the memories too!
at 10:51 I dropped my controller to render a salute.
I love those dogs on the submarine. They look like mutant badgers and make weird static noises.
When i first played this in an ice arena arcade in Ft Lauderdale back in 1987 I thought the green beret was a Cobra Tele Viper. Not the worst days to grow up as a kid back then.
The music in the last stage though oh and also when you get the star
How destructive that secret weapon even was, if our hero evaded it's explosion by running away?
Ah. I somehow remember this from like 2 years old. At 0:18 I would wait for the sirens to finish and then start moving the moment the music started playing. For 18 years I've always remembered this but never went for it. But look at me now. Here seeing one of my earliest memories from being a very very young child.
God I loved this game!
Awesome, I used to love this game as a kid! Thanks for posting!
Wow... I haven't seen this in 20 years, and I've been searching for it for a year or two now. Thanks for uploading! :D
i've been searching for it (didn't remember the name) like for decades... im crying out :D
Best part for me: the funny pseudonyms of the devs and staff lol
Tsuna 🤧😭😭😭😭😭💔
This was the NES game i couldn't remember from another video, thanks for upload one of the best 2 player NES games , never realise back then rush 'n means Russian! doh! wanna watch arcade version as well
Thank you I knew I played this game somewhere but I am positive it was not at home on the NES. Clears up a lot.
13:48 when i finnished this game my uncle said the sound of that nuclear weapon is like a super nuclear fart weapon😂
I could always remember playing this game. Forgot it’s name. Cheers
14:10 "Three cheers for the red, white and blue! Three cheers for the red, white, and blue, Oh, The stars and stripes forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue..."
una cerveza para el amigo, que manera de jugar compadre
Another child hood favorite from back in the day.
This was the first video game I ever rented. I’ll always remember my dad taking me to get it ❤
Most of you probably know that, but if you read the title correctly, it means "Russian Attack".
неубиваемый) реакция просто зверская, а игруха крутая, мы в неё с братом играли постоянно, эх детство.
Bet you like the Russian music in the background too. The same with Strider.
I spend many hours into this game in my childhood days..i never came close.just overcome the 4 stage.5th stage is too much for me.very challenging game.because u cant continue once its gameover.very nice game.one of my favorites
If u a 90s kid, agree with me that we had the real games in our Generation 🙌🏿💪🏿🙌🏿💪🏿
Ken Cook Every gen think they got the best shit
Only if one is blinded by nostalgia. Games, overall, are objectively better now.
Luna Smith No they're subjectively better, matters of opinion can't be objectively better
this is not 90s
If you played this in the 90's, agree with me that your family was broke ass and couldn't afford a Genesis or Snes.
I like this Konami-Activision game from 1987.
Holy fucking shit. I'm old.
I was 6 years old when i played this and i got to the final stage without ever beating it.. Bought it again recently and im struggling to get past the second stage -_- 5 year old Best Bro really was super best...
Wow! After many years, I just found out that 3:42 is the beginning of the French National Anthem
It’s also played in one of the old Track and Field or Olympic video games
Thank you for completing my childhood leftover memories
Um clássico dos anos 1980. Sensacional!
Now that´s a decent 8-bit castle demolition...
I remember playing this game 🎮 on Nintendo one and it was fun
great game
Well played! I think this games is so hard. Still today.
First video game I fell in love with
The soundtrack bro 😭❤
This game reminds me of many cold and rainy sunday mornings back in 1990.
The amount of stabbing is awesome
I gotta admit when I hear the music during the 2nd target overcome screen I feel like surrendering for some strange reason, Merica!
I LOVED THIS FUCKING GAME!!!...
So all i have to do is to hit the massive nuclear warhead with a bazooka and run like hell? seems legit!
I hated this game back in the day. I can't imagine anyone wanting to replay it this much to be good enough to beat it in 1 life.
Flawless Victory!.....perfect! ooooops wrong game but none the less! perfect!
Beat this game about 4 months ago. It drove me nuts
Its based off the Arcade Green Beret,but as most NES arcade conversions has it/s own features
Rush n Attack is classic Nintendo game with attitude
Tuổi thơ những năm 1992 học lớp 6 lại ùa về
Love this game.
Now its name would be "London simulation"
Everyone has had their weapons forcibly taken away so they resort for making a beeline for the one guy with a knife
I forgot this game and wanted to play it finally found this video
Thank you very kindly. :)

Actualy it refers to a strong impulse as some guys threaten the world with a nuclear attack and this dude bets with his comrades that he can go there and stop them all with nothing but a knife...
"oh look a nuke. Imma shoot it with a bazooka"
Even Rambo couldnt make a helicopter exploded with just a single tiny stab with knife😤
To many memories
Gold ages!!! THNKS
thanks for the nostalgia trip. Me and my older brother were only able to beat this one with the game genie. Well done!
Who else is here in March 2022?
One side the game....&... other side oh....the... soundtrack... I have no words.😘
score another solid G.play by JagOfTroy! ahh, memories of my teenage years! as of today, I still can't go beyond the 2nd. stage- except when my good ol' buddy "the Genie" gives me a hand. has anyone played the arcade-only sequel, M.I.A., or the recent sequel for PSN & XBLA, Rush'n Attack: Ex-Patriot?
Isn´t that barbed wire at the top of the fence at the end of the level?
Nice!
Just like the game Green Beret for the Commodore 64 :D
Same game, different name. ; )
OMG the music!!!
first nintendo game I got some 35 years ago RAGE quit slamming controller many many a time! Thank you for finally showing me what I couldn't do as a kid. (Why did they have to make it so freaken hard any way??!??)
