Developed and published by Data East in 1987
A cross between Ikari Warriors and Midnight Resistance, this top-down shooter has some interesting ideas, but isn't as compelling as the developer's other titles.
Additional weapons and power-ups can be obtained by opening weapon caches, although you will need to collect keys in order to do this. Keys are consumed when used, so you need to make your choices wisely.
The "Heavy Barrel" is a form of uber-weapon, which needs to be assembled from a number of constituent parts before use. Once complete, you're rewarded with A few seconds of ultimate firepower, at least until the weapon runs out of juice and you have to create another.
