Ikari III: The Rescue

             

              Manufacturer: SNK
              Year: 1989

Descpription: Unlike the previous two games, this game features
hand-to-hand combat in addition to weapons, as well as more "life-like" character designs
(as opposed to the "super deformed" versions of the characters in the first two games).

While the game still uses the rotary joystick, a version exists that forgoes the rotary feature
altogether. The weapon selection is greatly reduced from prequels, and there are no player usable
vehicles. Weapons are much rarer, which makes the game more focused on hand to hand combat.
