Operation Wolf is a classic shooter game originally released for the arcade in 1987 and later ported to the Commodore 64. Developed by Taito, the game puts players in the shoes of a Special Forces operative on a mission to rescue hostages from a concentration camp. The game is recognized for its on-rails shooter gameplay, where players use gun peripherals or joysticks to take out enemies and obstacles. Its release on the Commodore 64 preserved the essence of the arcade experience, though adapted to the technical limitations of the home computer platform. It represents the action arcade genre and was part of a trend of military-themed shooters popular in the 1980s.
