Synopsis

The player takes control of a soldier named Super Joe, who begins by being dropped into a jungle by a helicopter, and must fight his way out single-handedly, fending off a massive onslaught of enemy soldiers. Super Joe is armed with a submachine gun (which has unlimited ammo) as well as a limited supply of hand grenades. While Joe can fire his weapon in any of eight directions he faces, his grenades can only be thrown vertically towards the top of the screen, regardless of which direction Joe is facing. Unlike its SMG rounds, grenades can be thrown to clear obstacles, and well-placed grenade explosions can kill multiple enemies at once. At the end of each level, the screen stops, and the player must fight several soldiers streaming from a gate or fortress. They are ordered around by a cowardly officer, who immediately flees, although being shot in the back grants him bonus points. Along the way, one can attempt to free prisoners of war as they are transported across the screen by the enemy.
