In arcades just over a decade after Rip Off comes this run and gun four player shooter. Capitalizing on the war in the Persion Gulf which was all over the news at the time, Desert Assault is a perfect snapshot into the state of the art in 1991 video gaming. A large variety of weapons, vehicles to drive, and different perspectives, as well as over-the-top dialogue from the big bag terrorist leader make Desert Assault a memorable experience.
