* CallAHitPointASmeerp: The Golgo 13 light-gun arcade games reward/punish for accuracy instead of whether you (playing as Golgo) get hit. You start the game with 100% "reliability". Do well on a typical mission and you will gain 30% reliability up to the 100% maximum but no further. Miss the mark and your reliability goes down 80%. When your reliability goes down to 0%, you can't get a job (not only that, the game over screen more than implies that Golgo is being tortured because all of his botched deals) because you're, well, not reliable, and you'll have to continue or accept a game over. All in all, it's a reasonably clever take on Calling A Hit Point A Smeerp while avoiding the Hostage Spirit Link problem: you won't take damage for hitting the wrong people, but nobody will trust you enough to hire you as a hitman.

[[folder: Tropes applying to both games]]
* BoomHeadshot: Also, in ''Top Secret Episode'' for the NES, a 'Sniper Mode' is featured in the East Berlin stage. It also appears in ''The Mafat Conspiracy''
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the early days of the NES when [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Nintendo Nintendo of America]] was heavily censoring all games for anything even slightly offensive, Golgo 13's game came over with all it's murder-y goodness intact, and ''even included several sex scenes!'' (Not literally shown on camera, but the dialogue makes clear what's about to happen, then the lights dim and Duke and the woman's silhouettes come together.)
** As a matter of fact, you actually got to see the girls undress AND see boobs in the Japanese version. This makes the above trope even more amazing. After all, why not remove the scenes altogether?
** Nintendo also forgot to remove [[NoSwastikas a couple swastikas]] that clearly tied the "Drek" group to Nazis run by an (equally unedited) cyborg Hitler - facts mercilessly lampshaded in the LetsPlay of ''Top Secret Episode''.

''Golgo 13: The Mafat Conspiracy'' (Gorugo Sātīn Dai-Nishou Ikarosu no Nazo, ''Golgo 13 Episode 2: The Riddle of Icarus'') is a Nintendo Entertainment System video game released in 1990. A weapons satellite has been snatched out of orbit, and the world is facing nuclear destruction. Behind this act is a group of terrorist known as the Mafat Conspiracy. The terrorists plan to extort the U.S. and Soviet governments by threatening to make their satellites fall from space. The Mafat are demanding that the Soviets turn over their research on electromagnetic waves, and the American government to give them the Los Angeles, a ship that is equipped with nuclear warheads. The CIA and KGB are blaming each other, and Golgo 13's mission is to eliminate the leader of the Mafat Revolutionary Group, destroy the Satellite Capture System, and rescue Dr. Barrows. The doctor was kidnapped from his lab in England many years ago and taken to Paris, where he remains in confinement.

Six video games have been released for the ''Manga/Golgo13'' franchise: the first one, released for SG-1000, followed by ''Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode'' on the Nintendo Entertainment System, ''The Mafat Conspiracy'' and three Japan-only Arcade games, similar to the Silent Scope series, but with a few differences. A Golgo 13 game, Golgo 13: File G-13 o Oe, was released for the Nintendo DS on June 18, 2009 by Marvelous Entertainment. This was a large quiz game with several mini-games included.
''Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode'' (Gorugo Sātīn Dai-Isshō Kamigami no Tasogare?, ''Golgo 13 Episode 1: Twilight of the Gods'') is an action video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which was released in 1988. In this game, based on a popular manga, the player takes on the role of Golgo 13 (also known as Duke Togo), an assassin whose objective is to destroy the leader of the Drek group. On the way, Golgo 13 must pass through several areas, including East Berlin, Athens, and Alexander Island, which is located off the coast of Antarctica.
