Play Operation Wolf 3 Online

Operation Wolf 3 came out in 1994 as an arcade light gun shooter from Taito. It arrived at a time when arcades were still packed with players looking for quick, intense experiences, and this game fit right in with its straightforward action and loud, immediate feedback.

You control a soldier fighting through enemy territory, clearing each screen of hostiles before moving forward. The main goal is to rescue hostages and destroy enemy equipment across several missions. Signature mechanics include using a mounted machine gun with unlimited ammo, tossing grenades to clear clustered enemies, and occasionally shooting down clay pigeons for bonus points. The pacing is relentless, with enemies swarming from all sides, and the difficulty can feel punishing if your aim wavers. It feels like a test of reflexes and accuracy under constant pressure.
