Lobbing DM 51 Hand Grenades vertically allows Super Joe to clear obstacles and trigger multi-enemy explosions. While the sub-machine gun fires in eight directions, players must manage a limited grenade supply to navigate through four looping stages. This single-player or two-player shooter tasks you with destroying enemy strongholds by fighting through foxholes and bombed-out buildings.
