Rush'n Attack, also known as Green Beret in Japan and Europe, is a 1985 action-platform video game developed and published by Konami for arcades. It was later ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System and various home computers. Its North American title is a play on the phrase "Russian attack" due to its Cold War setting. It became a critical and commercial success for arcades and home computers. It was followed by a sequel, Rush'n Attack: Ex-Patriot, in 2010.

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.
