the detail and color on the main character sprite is pretty impressive for the NES. during some screens, you might think this was a Turbografx-16 game.
The enemy logic a lot more reasonable than the arcade counterpart, where whenever the player do a Jump maneuver the enemy decided to froze on the spot until the player lands. The NES counterpart has none of it.
This looks like a game I would've played in the late 80's as a kid, though it's somewhat lacking in distinction from other beat-em-ups in 2023. Good game, though.
That was probably the consensus at the time. P.O.W. was a mid-tier game both in the arcades and at home. Despite being more of a beat 'em up than a shooter, it still occupied the same space and competed against SNK's own Ikari Warriors and Guerilla War, which are very similar in theme. In the beat 'em up/hack 'n slash space, P.O.W. was below games like Double Dragon, Shinobi, Bad Dudes, and Ninja Warriors in terms of popularity.

Congraturation!
I fought in the war, and I defeated the enemy with my flash kick!
Nice! Did he fly across the surface already in the laying down position?
@@qubonic No, but he served under General Mills.
General Mike Mills.
Congraturation! 18:28 😂
I love this game it’s still nice
About time someone TASed this game.
This game had one of the most terrifying death screams, which is why I'm glad there is none of that in this run. Seriously, nightmare fuel in audio.
i love how you can pass half of the game just walking

Any game with rifle butt-smashing is automatic 10/10.
