War in the Gulf is a horizontal SHMUP taking place during the Persian Gulf War. It was distributed by an unlicensed Brazilian company called CCE. In the game you play as a helicopter named SUPER-AH 64, in which you battle your way through numerous stages featuring a variety of terrains. The graphics are pretty good for an unlicensed game - the sprites are well-drawn and vibrant. The gameplay is also pretty solid - it is filled with some intense action with loads of sprites and patterns, providing a nice challenge for hardcore SHMUP fans. Now, lets take a look at the Eye-catching title theme:
Upon starting the game up, you are struck by lightning accompanying a jammin' tune, which flashes an eagle with spread wings, ready to hunt its prey. This tune is in fact the song "Electric Eye" by Judas Priest! Judas Priest on Nintendo!
Don't miss out on this game if you're a SHMUP fan who's interested in trying something new and obscure. Also, Judas Priest and NES collectors, you have a new item to keep an eye out for, and good luck with that as this game is rather difficult to find.
But wait, there's more... have a listen:
Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane
Scorpions - Still Loving You
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train (solo)
