Killjoy's Exploits: Storm Over The Desert [Action 52 NES Game 36] (Full Run)

KEP-5/7: This is a full run of the thirty-sixth game on the infamous original NES multicart of Action 52.

The player controls a tank sent to wipe out the army of "Satan Hosein" [try and guess which Arab socialist dictator of the 20th Century the game is referencing here - it is really easy if you know modern history], who has sent his stick figure soldiers and pink(!) tanks out to stop you.
Contrary to what some angry nerd wanker over on the 'Tube might tell you, your tank is not indestructible - the player's tank can take a number of hits before being destroyed. Also notable is that those giant Saddam Hussein figures [there, I said it!] that roam the field at random are actually disguised 1UPs - letting Saddam run into your tank gives you an extra life! - I am possibly the first to discover this as I have not heard anyone else find this out, so credit to me!

This game is quite slow due to the movement speed of the enemy tanks and their spawn time, which resulted in a rather long playthrough, but it is a full run nevertheless, aided by the appropriate Game Genie hacking cheat codes for infinite health.

Gameplay Recorded on: 12th January 2023

Player: Mile "The Killjoy" Sipka

Remember My Advice: Don't Be A Masochist, Winners Use Cheats [But Only In Single Player Games].

Also Remember: When the storm rides over the desert, Saddam is your friend...
