Play Guerrilla War (Europe) Online

Game Overview

Guerrilla War on the NES is one of those games where you grab a friend, mash the fire button until your thumb hurts, and somehow still die five seconds in. It's basically you and a buddy playing as rebel soldiers—think Rambo but with worse aim—shooting your way through jungles, dodging tanks, and occasionally rescuing prisoners who just stand there like they're waiting for a bus.

The two-player co-op is where it really shines. You'll be tossing grenades everywhere, accidentally blowing each other up, and laughing when one of you gets swarmed by enemies because you ran out of bullets (again). The controls are simple—just run and shoot—but the game doesn’t go easy on you. Enemies pop up from behind trees, tanks roll in out of nowhere, and sometimes you just have to accept that this dictator’s army really, really wants you dead.

It’s got that old-school arcade feel where everything’s chaotic and slightly unfair, but in a way that makes you want to try "just one more time." If you’ve got a friend who doesn’t mind losing a few lives to your terrible grenade throws, this one’s worth digging out of the NES library.
