P.O.W. - Prisoners of War (US version 1) — About this game
P.O.W.: Prisoners of War fights its escape with three separate punch, kick and jump actions. Combined inputs add a back punch or headbutt, while a jumping kick requires the kick after leaving the ground. Found weapons change the same buttons: Punch throws a knife, but with a machine gun Kick fires and Punch swings the weapon as a club. Learn those changes before collecting a gun in front of another enemy, then use the melee option when preserving ammunition is more useful than another shot.
