Operation Wolf

It's got to be one of those, you know, the trademark was there and we just re-registered it thing.

Now, bizarrely, they're launching with an Operation Wolf.

They describe it as a sniper-type game, which does not at all fit Spinnaker's reputation for thinky, genteel titles.

So why are we conjuring up the image of this brand if the products aren't going to fit it? Yeah.

What do you mean? Yeah.

Operation Wolf.

I'm such a moron.

Uh, nope, nobody put any entries on the website.

It's, like, among the earliest, but it's, like, not the first.

But also, like, when I think of light gun, like, video games, I feel like, at least in the arcade space, it doesn't feel like it really pops off until, like, Operation Wolf seems like the big, like, now everyone's gonna try to do one of these games.

Crossbow didn't seem like it spawned an entire cottage industry of everyone arms racing to make light gun games.

No, no, you're right on that.

And it's because it's missing some of that, you know, urgency that Operation Wolf had.

Operation Wolf, the sounds, the, you know, all the stuff kind of at you.

It's just you always felt like you were behind the eight ball.

And this one is just slowly watching your friends walk across.

And they are incredible as far as attention to detail.

And so the four games in here are Operation Wolf, which was a favorite of mine in the arcade.

I don't know a kid in the 80s that didn't want to use an Uzi light gun game and take out bad guys.

So, very cool.

It had a poster.

It's like a small poster of some...

It looked like the artwork from Operation Wolf and a fan book.

So the fan book, I kind of flipped through.
