Operation Wolf consists of six missions, which are displayed on the Operations Map Screen.
A mission is completed when all enemy forces are reduced to zero.
The current level is completed when you escape from the airport with the prisoners.
Your injury level increases when the enemy hits you.
The game automatically ends if the injury indicator on the right side of the screen becomes completely red.
You can reduce your injury level by getting power drinks.
About TurboGrafx-16
Known as the PC Engine in Japan, the TurboGrafx-16 (1989) punched well above its small form factor but never found a large audience in North America, leading to one of the smallest console libraries of its generation in the West. That limited Western release makes complete, boxed TurboGrafx-16 games some of the scarcer finds in retro console collecting today.
Gamevaro tracks Operation Wolf for TurboGrafx-16 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Operation Wolf to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This TG16 release dates back to 1987.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Operation Wolf, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx-16 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
