Shatterhand (NES)

The year is 2030. You are Steve Hermann who is a police officer from the Bronx and ends up losing his arms from members of the military renegades known as Metal Command led by General Gus Grover (who has a resemblance to M.Bison). Steve gets two cybernetic arms developed by the Law and Order Regulatory Division (L.O.R.D.). Steve is now Shatterhand and he is on a mission to defeat Metal Command.

Standard NES story stuff.

I was really happy on finally beating this one. I played this game about 3 years ago and got to the last level. I felt defeated when I couldn't beat the game and put it on the back burner.
I had an incentive to beat this game cause it was picked for Achievement of the Week over at Retro Achievements. After watching a few vids and doing a little research I prevailed!

This game is a really cool action/platformer. Aside from enemies, you can also punch down walls and projectiles/bullets to defend yourself.You can also hang onto fences to get around. You can also punch little white crates to get power ups and money to be used for special platforms to power you up, get extra lives and get a full life restore. The power ups are the Greek letters and (Alpha and Beta). If you pick up 3 of them in a certain order, you can summon a robot satellite and it has different attacks depending on what order you picked them up. My favorite combination is the Yoyobot () is projectile energy balls you shoot out that retracts like a yo-yo. You can even hang from your robot satellite and it gives you a boost to do an extra jump.

If you also pick up 3 more Alpha and Beta power ups in the same order in which you summoned your robot satellite, you can combine with it and use a really powerful robot suit that grants you a 15 seconds of invincibility and can shoot out powerful waves of energy.

Very good game.
