Midnight Resistance

April Fools'

The name was changed to Midnight Residence and used for a fake game that was reviewed by Commodore Format as an April Fools' joke.

Version differences

In the coin-op & Amiga versions, you must use two sticks to control the soldier and the gun; on Genesis & Atari ST, you can control both only with one stick.

The Atari ST and 8-bit versions lack the two player option because of memory requirements, while the Amiga version include this game mode. Also, the ST version features no scrolling (but flip screen) and the Amiga has some animated background objects

C64 bundled version

The game was bundled with the C64 for a time, in the 'Night Moves' pack, however a mix-up means that an incomplete 5 level version with gameplay issues was used instead of the final released one.
