 Heavy Barrel (Video Game)
comment
Heavy Barrel is a 1987 overhead Run-and-Gun Arcade Game by Data East. It was ported to the NES in 1990.Terrorists have seized the underground control complex of a nuclear missile site, and it is up to one or two players to infiltrate the base and kill the enemy leader. Improved weapons and grenade powerups are made available within the game, either in plain sight or within crates that must be unlocked using keys. Additionally, crates may contain orbs or one of the six pieces of the Heavy Barrel superweapon.The Heavy Barrel is found in six pieces and is an energy cannon capable of destroying any enemy in the game with a single shot (except the final enemy, and possibly one other boss that may have required two shots). The weapon has a wide arc of fire and can be fired as fast as the player's trigger finger permits, but after 30 seconds (99 in the NES version) its use is exhausted, at which point the bearer reverts to his previous weaponry.Another run-and-gun game, Midnight Resistance, was released by Data East in 1990, and ported to the Sega Genesis. It was often touted as a sequel to Heavy Barrel, due to similar control scheme (only with a side-view), graphics, and sound effects.

More Dakka: The Heavy Barrel weapon uses this to deal tons of damage. Would be a Game-Breaker, if not for the fact that you can only use it for 30 seconds.

Stalked by the Bell: In the arcade version, taking too long in one area would result in multiple red bombs (which explode in a very deadly eight-way blast) continuously being thrown into the arena until you moved on or got killed. Worst of all, it can happen during the battle with the Final Boss.

BFG: The Heavy Barrel superweapon is definitely considered this. And a kickass one to boot — it is an instant kill on pretty much every enemy except the Final Boss (Who doesn't last that much longer anyway).

Wolfpack Boss: The bosses of the second-to-last stage are three robotic enemies that shoot fireballs at you. Later, you have to fight against two more of them(plus a helicopter and an assload of mooks), with a third attacking later.
