Butcher Hill
Butcher Hill is an action game developed and published by Gremlin Graphics in 1989. In this game, the player controls a team of five soldiers who have to survive in the Vietnamese jungle[1] and kill as many enemies as possible. In the first part, the player's team is in a boat on a river with many rocks, mines and enemy fighters trying to sink it. If there is at least one remaining soldier at the end of the first part, the player enters the second part, a simulated 3D view of the jungle, shooting enemy soldiers and evading mines.

The Spanish magazine Microhobby gave the game the following scores:[2] Originality: 40%, Graphics: 70%, Motion: 60%, Sound: 70%, Difficulty: 80%, Addiction: 60%.
gollark: The FS functions *themselves* would work okay, but stuff which used them seemed to keep them in scope or something.
gollark: I couldn't get FS virtualization to work properly without erasing and reconstructing the environment.
gollark: Also, there are no comments?
gollark: It has a process manager, keyboard shortcuts, a copy of the CC BIOS somewhere, plus the traditional viral infection capability.
gollark: At least PotatOS is slightly OSy.
