I fondly remember those nights shooting everything on sight when playing the then quite popular rail-shooter “Operation Wolf” in the arcade way back when. If my mind isn’t playing tricks on me (more than usual, that is) this was the first “shooting gallery” arcade game I ever played. And let’s not forget that this was one of the first of this genre to actually have anything resembling a storyline, and one that had some similarities to real special operations missions.
Using a gun controller (with force feedback to simulate recoil! How cool was that back in the day!?) that was attached to the cabinet, your objective was to shoot as many soldiers, tanks, jeeps choppers and boats as was required per stages (there were six of them) and save the five hostages in the concentration camp.
When invading their bases, you’ll come across an awful lot of enemies that will come out of every possible hole, shooting at you like crazy, tossing grenades, knifes and even more stuff. Fortunately you can throw them grenades and knives too!

Go to take a look to the Operation Wolf entry's on the Killer List of Videogames, for a nice gathering of hints and tricks, and go check it out with this or this online version of the game right here on your browser.
