Golgo 13

You control Golgo 13, aka Duke Togo, throughout the game. He is a trained marksman and an excellent combatant. At full health, Golgo 13 has 200 life points. He loses points over time, and more whenever he is struck by an enemy or shot. He gains points back by defeating enemies, or during particular breaks in the action between acts. If he runs out of life points he dies. The game will show a “To Be Continued...” screen, and then you may press to continue where you left off, but you may only do so 52 times. After you die the 52nd time, the game will start over from the very beginning. Golgo 13 also has a supply of ammunition. The supply reaches its maximum at 400 bullets. You can obtain more bullets by defeating enemies, or finding caches of ammunition inside buildings. If you run out of bullets, Golgo 13 will kick his enemies. He also kicks whenever he jumps in the air. Note that while Golgo can duck below bullets that are fired at his head, he cannot return fire while squatting.
