Green Beret - The Commodore 16 gets a far superior version of Green Beret compared to the original release!

Green Beret was an action arcade game released by Konami in 1985. It is remembered for its Cold War setting and its reliance on the player using mainly a knife to dispatch enemies, although you were able to collect many different weapons to aid you in combat. Green Beret was one of the hardest games I had ever played and yet was one of the games that gave me the best memories! Sadly however if you had the Commodore 16 version, it was widely regarded as one of the worst video games ever made. Well at least until now...
