▲''Heavy Barrel'' is a 1987 overhead run-and-gun [[Arcade Game]] by [[Data East]]. It was ported to the [[NES]] in 1990.
[[Excuse Plot|Terrorists have seized the underground control complex of a nuclear missile site, and it is up to one or two players to infiltrate the base and kill the enemy leader]]. Improved weapons and grenade powerups are made available within the game, either in plain sight or within crates that must be unlocked using keys. Additionally, crates may contain orbs or one of the six pieces of the [[BFG|Heavy Barrel]] [[Game Breaker|superweapon]].

A similar game, ''Midnight Resistance'' was released by Data East in 1990, and ported to the [[Sega Genesis]]. It was often touted as a sequel to ''Heavy Barrel'', due to a similar control scheme (only with a side-view), graphics, and sound effects.

* [[BFG]]: The Heavy Barrel superweapon is definitely considered this. And a kickass one to boot — it is an instant kill on pretty much every enemy except the [[Final Boss]] (Who doesn't last that much longer anyway).
