A light-gun shooter where a foot pedal lets you duck behind cover and reload. It added tactics to a brain-dead genre and launched a long-running series.

Tips
Play it better
- Release the pedal to duck behind cover, which also reloads your gun.
- Shoot red-clad soldiers first, since their shots are the ones that actually hit you.
- Watch the timer, which only refills when you clear an area.
- Duck the moment you see a muzzle flash aimed at the screen.
- Stay out of cover as long as it's safe, because hiding burns time.
- Learn boss attack patterns so you know exactly when to pop up and fire.
