Rescue - The Embassy Mission (Euro)

Nintendo NES 1991 Kemco
Hostages is a computer game developed by New Frontier and published by Infogrames. It was released for the Acorn Electron, Archimedes, Atari ST, Amiga, Apple IIGS, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, DOS, MSX, NES and ZX Spectrum platforms in 1988. The game was titled Hostage: Rescue Mission in the United States, and Operation Jupiter in France. The Nintendo Entertainment System port was called Rescue: The Embassy Mission. The music was composed by Alberto José González.

The game is split into two or three (depending on platform) distinct sections:

  • In the first part of the game, the player must bring three men into position so they can snipe the building. While doing so, the men must avoid the searchlight by hiding in doorways as well as rolling, crawling and running. If the player is caught in a searchlight, the sniper is gunned down.
  • The second part involves entering the building with the other three men. In some versions of the game, this section is linked to the first part. The player's men abseil down the side of the building to choose which room to enter from, while the snipers who were positioned earlier can be used to shoot the terrorists through the windows.
  • The building must then be searched, shooting the terrorists and finding the hostages in the process. In some versions of the game, hostages must be taken to a safe room. The first-person room-by-room method of play is similar to some of Kemco's other games, including Shadowgate.
