As “nuclear pirates”, players navigate an attack hovercraft across a post-apocalyptic United States, defeating the legions of armed robots that guard former nuclear reactors to scavenge any remaining radioactive waste.[1]
Preservation
On November 20, 2020, the Video Game History Foundation and Gaming Alexandria announced the release of a late prototype of Nuclear Rush. Former developer Kenneth Hurley had retained his copy of the game’s source code, and was able to successfully compile a working ROM image.[2]
