You had regular soldiers, flame thrower soldiers, policemen (because Rambo disobeyed orders to just observe and not engage I guess)… and of course, tanks that can only be taken down by your arrow bombs.

At least not when the game is only 6 levels long! Ahhh, the simplicity of the 8-bit era! Also, the variety of enemies is pretty nice for an early 8-bit game. One of the highlights of this game is the soundtrack! Sure, it is only a few tracks long, but they are a couple of tracks that you don’t mind hearing on repeat every other level. BUT, if you managed to make it to the higher levels without dying, then you really were able to blast through the game all Rambo-style like my friend Newport in a game of Ghost Recon! 😉 The best power-up is the one that lets you kill all the enemies on the screen just by firing one of your arrows… but remember how I said you would lose all of your power-ups and arrows if you died? Yeah, there’s that. These power-ups include more arrow bombs, a more powerful arrow bomb, a long shot, a more powerful shot that will go through enemies, and a power-up to destroy all the enemies on the screen. While the main goal is to just make it through the 6 levels, there are also little “huts” (or cop cars, or giant rocks later on) that you can blow up with an arrow bomb to free one of the hostages and get a power-up.


You’re sending in TWO tanks up against Rambo at the same time? Just don’t forget one thing…
