Not sure if this game is already emulated by mame and I don't know about it but here goes....
It is like a very cheap Commando/Ikari Warrios type game made for the Atari, but it was an arcade game. The controls, I believe are a spinner and joystick. I know there is a spinner control because the soldier character holds out his gun(with a stance kind of like an "egyptian" stance) and the spinner rotates the gun, very awkwardly, in a full 360 degree motion in the soldier's hand. It was pretty funny looking. There may have been like at most 4 or 8 colors. I think the soldier had a blue colored body and maybe red helmet or something. The controls were definitly not a rotary joystick, it was at least a spinner and an 8-way (maybe 4-way) joystick. Any ideas?
