Mechanized Attack Overview
Mechanized Attack presents a scenario in which a player assaults a tropical island defended by a cyborg army. The conflict begins over water, with initial targets including gunboats, helicopters, and a battleship.
Enemies initially appear human or even canine, but their robotic nature is exposed as their outer flesh is destroyed. The player's primary weapon is a machine gun, and the NES version supports both a standard gamepad and the Light Zapper peripheral. To mimic the arcade cabinet's machine gun replica, holding down the fire button or Zapper trigger provides automatic fire.
Progression involves multiple stages, and at certain points the player can select which path to take through the island. Ammunition for the main weapon is plentiful, especially when obtained from destroyed power-up boxes. Grenades, which are more powerful, are conversely in short supply compared to the standard bullets.
