Line 1: {{work}} ''[[Target: Terror]]'' is a 2004 video game, a [[Light Gun Game]] developed by Raw Thrills, the independent arcade game devhouse founded by the legendary [[Eugene Jarvis]]. In the same vein as ''Maximum Force'' or ''Area51'', you are fighting terrorists and defending locations. Instead of three areas as in ''Maximum Force'', this game has nine levels, split into three locations; the Denver Airport, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Los Alamos research facility. A tenth level is unlocked after completing the first nine; the goal there is to prevent a hijacked airliner from crashing into the White House. Because of the terrorists' ridiculous accuracy, ''Target Terror'' has gained infamy for being one of the [[Nintendo Hard\|hardest]] light gun games ever made. A [[Wii]] port was released in 2008 by Konami and Leviathan Games. [[Porting Disaster\|It wasn't very good.]] Line 16: * [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: And the innocent bystanders, and the terrorists... * [[Hostage Spirit Link]]: One of the reasons the game is so hard is that there's a LOT of hostages just standing there. * [[Kill It ~~With~~with Fire]]: The flamethrower, which allows you to put your enemies to the torch. * [[Kill Sat]] [[Smart Bomb]]: A useful powerup that's acquired by shooting a satellite that occasionally sprints across the screen. Using it clears a screen of terrorists and/or takes half the lifebar off of [[That One Boss\|the helicopters that appear twice in the game.]] * [[Large Ham]]: Everybody overacts in a way that would make [[William Shatner]] proud. Special mention goes to the news reporter that introduces each level. Line 27: * [[Shock and Awe]]: The [[Double Entendre\|appropriately-named]] "Shocker" powerup. * [[Shooting Gallery]]: 5707 Terror Terrace, one of the bonus games where you earn extra points for shooting the terrorist targets and get points deducted for shooting innocent targets. Hit three innocents and the bonus game ends. * [[The War Onon Terror]]: Blatantly marketed as a post September 11 reaction to terrorism. * [[Updated Rerelease]]: The Gold edition, which adds combat medals and secret areas. * [[Vaporware]]: A sequel was teased by [[Eugene Jarvis]] when the [[Wii]] port was released in 2008, but nothing else has been heard of it. Can't blame Jarvis, as Raw Thrills has kept busy with various other games in the following three years. Chalk it up to lack of resources.
