The first of the US Gold coin-op conversions is Data East's Breakthru starring an acrobatic van!

This van is described as the world's most sophisticated armed vehicle that must drive 400 miles across hostile territory to retrieve your country's revolutionary new fighter and restore world peace.

Ahead of you lies four stages in which you must run the gauntlet of flame throwers, helicopters, tanks, jeeps, mines and enemy troops that can take out your sophisticated vehicle with a single shot!

The first stage is a charge through the mountains hurdling rockfalls in a single leap (Yes, this van can jump!). Next you've got to cross a broken bridge (more leaping!) while battling with missile-firing trucks, then across a prairie, through a city until finally you breakthru to the airfield when you can run for a plane and a final getaway.

A jumping, shooting, leaping arcade hit.
