Bazooka Bill

Bazooka Bill has to rescue General MacArthur who is being held on an archipelago consisting of the Leyte, Mindano and Corregidor Islands, making up levels 2-4 of the game. The first level tasks Bill with getting to Clark Airbase to fly to each island where he is accosted by enemy soldiers and must fight his way through them.

The player can use punches, a throwing knife, machine gun, flamethrower, and later a bazooka. With the exception of punching, each weapon is picked up as Bill moves through the level, and lasts for a timed duration before reverting Bill back to basic punching. Despite the game name, the bazooka only appears as a timed weapon on stages two and four.
