Although it controls a bit haphazardly, Heavy Barrel has all the diversity and shooting power it needs to sustain itself as something different from Commando and similar games. The goal of piecing together a mega-gun is a nice sub-plot, but the straight action is the strong point in Heavy Barrel.

Perhaps Data East's best attempt at a shooter. While very similar Ikari Warriors the idea of searching for the pieces to a super weapon adds a different twist to the game. The graphics are very well done, scroll smoothly and change often. As a shooter the action is constant - one of the best this year!

Android

A hot new arcade translation from Data East which blends Ikari Warriors' theme with Contra shooting and power-ups. Finding the pieces to the Heavy Barrel weapon, which is one of the most intense power-ups in any video game, is cool and the 2-player option is nice. A good change of pace!

Heavy Barrel isn't overwhelming, but the game does play well and offer some new incentives that haven't been seen before. The object of constructing the Heavy Barrel is good, but the weapon doesn't last long enough. A good game that should make most shooting fans happy.

Heavy Barrel (ヘビー・バレルHebī Bareru) is a 1987 overhead run and gunarcade game by Data East.

Gameplay[edit]

Arcade Screenshot

Terrorists have seized the underground control complex of a nuclear missile site, and it is up to the player to infiltrate the base and kill the enemy leader. Players begin armed with a gun with unlimited ammunition and a limited supply of grenades. 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. Like SNK's Ikari Warriors, the original arcade version featured 8-way rotary joysticks.

The name of the game is from an in-game weapon. 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 thirty seconds its use is exhausted, at which point the bearer reverts to his previous weaponry. The Heavy Barrel is best used to get past tough bosses, and the game only contains enough pieces to allow the weapon to be built three times in a single game.[2] In a two-player game, whoever collects the sixth piece is equipped with the Heavy Barrel.

Ports[edit]

  • Heavy Barrel was ported by Quicksilver Software to the Apple II and DOS in 1989.[3][4] The NES port was developed by Data East and released in North America and Japan in 1990. All versions of Heavy Barrel were published by Data East.
  • In 1989, Heavy Barrel was contracted to be ported to the Commodore 64 by F.A.C.S. (Financial Accounting and Computing Software), a West Bloomfield Township, Michigan company. The graphics engine and much of the game-play was in place, but the development company folded before the project could be finished.
  • In February 2010, Majesco Entertainment released[5] a port of Heavy Barrel for the Wii (as part of the 'Data East Arcade Classics' disc) and for the Zeebo.
