Guerrilla War​ (originally titled Guevara in Japan) is an overhead run and gun game produced by SNK. It was released for arcades in 1987 as a coin-operated Arcade Game. It was ported to the ZX Spectrum and the NES in 1988.Guerrilla War followed the adventures of two unnamed rebel commandos (Che Guevara and Fidel Castro in the Japanese version) as they raid an unnamed Caribbean Island (Cuba in the originalnote The game was originally loosely based on the real life Cuban Revolution of the late 50s-early 60s) in order to free it from the rule of an unnamed tyrannical dictator (Fulgencio Batista). Along the way the players vanquish hordes of unnamed enemy soldiers (originally part of the Batista regime) while attempting to rescue hostages, collecting weapons from troopers and operating tanks.

Dual Boss: The NES version has the Plow Brothers, two big burly men who ride a plow. The first time you destroy their plow, they toss your characters into a mine. Later, you encounter them in a city and they toss you into a sewer. You get your revenge when you fight their plow the second time, as they fail to get out before it explodes.

Collision Damage: Touch a Mook and you will die. Unless you're in a tank, in which case they'll die (unless they're in a tank, in which case your tank will die). Funnily enough, in the NES port, if a hero and a mook run into each other, the collision is fatal to both parties.

Tank Goodness: As with Ikari Warriors, you can ride in a tank, which is immune to regular bullets. However, a single explosive will put it out of commission. The same goes for enemies in tanks — you have to hit them with grenades or special weapons.

comment
Hopeless Boss Fight: The first boss of the arcade version has a commander that dances back and forth and laughs at you, while mooks swarm in. You can't harm the commander. You have to wait him out until the the (beatable) helicopter boss flies in. At the end of Stage 6 (the first half of the city) in the NES version, you encounter the Plow Brothers again, only this time they're not inside a plow. You can't do anything, and no matter how long you try to dodge them, they'll throw you into a sewer in the next stage.
