About M-79 Ambush
Two cannons under U.N. observation serve as the backdrop for shooting targets including tanks, jeeps, and motorcycles. Players trigger explosion sequences and various sound effects, such as whistles and whines, by successfully hitting enemy vehicles. This gallery-style shooter focuses on rapid-fire engagement against these moving combat units.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
