Item Description
Ikari Warriors very nearly carried Rambo's name. SNK set out to make an official adaptation of Rambo: First Blood Part II, couldn't secure the rights, and settled on “Ikari,” borrowed from the film's Japanese subtitle. The attitude survived the name change: two headband-wearing commandos, a jungle crawling with enemy troops, and an arcade cabinet that ranked among the top earners of 1986 in Japan, London and North America.
Designer Koji Obada built it by fusing Capcom's Commando with ideas from SNK's own tank game TNK III, including its rotary joysticks and drivable tanks. You push north through a gauntlet of soldiers, bunkers and armor with a rifle and a stash of grenades, and the best moments come when you climb into an abandoned tank, trading a foot soldier's fragility for a cannon and a much bigger target on your back. The goal is a rescue, and the NES version keeps the hostage's name from the Japanese original, General Kawasaki, rather than the Colonel Cook of the Western arcade release.
Micronics handled the NES port, released in North America in 1987, and it had to rethink the controls for a gamepad with no rotary stick. It also added something the cabinet didn't have: alongside the tanks, you can commandeer enemy helicopters, armed with a spread gun and a cannon and able to fly over water. It is a famously stubborn, punishing cartridge, and having a friend on the second controller, fighting up the screen beside you, is how most players remember surviving it.
The two commandos had a long career after this. Known in Japan as Ralf and Clark, they starred in SNK's Ikari sequels, became the Ikari Warriors team in The King of Fighters and later turned up in Metal Slug. This cartridge is where their story first reached living rooms: rough, loud and relentless mid-eighties action that still makes a great test of nerve on a Saturday afternoon.
