Trivia

Due to the fact that this game has a detached hand-held machinegun, the game is more interesting than the original Operation Wolf with its fixed mount machinegun. Even in arcades where both versions were present, people usually preferred the bootleg since it was more exciting to hold a large machinegun in your hands and move it around freely. This also made the game easier as it allowed the player to reduce the distance from the gun to the screen.
