![]() ![]() The machine gun is solid, but the trick is aiming it in the right direction. Rambo might be greased up, but he’s not naked: he’s armed with an M-60 machine gun and arrow bombs that decimate entire areas. “Rambo, behind you! In the bushes!… I’m not yelling! I’m helping!“ Despite your all-encompassing pectorals, one hit is all it takes to fell poor Rambo. The majority of soldiers drift aimlessly, spewing bullets that look like tennis balls in miscellaneous directions, while the occasional sniper, flamethrower-er, rocket spewer, and grenade launcher appear throughout each level to liven things up. ![]() Soldiers come at you unceasingly, and they both move and shoot faster than you. You control Rambo, moving him slowly through fields, villages, jungles. If you’ve dabbled in Ikari Warriors, SNK’s Rambo-esque franchise that also kicked off in 1986, you know what Rambo‘s about. The only way out is to keep fighting until you meet your own bloody end or surrender and wish you were dead. He’s all guns blazing (red bandana flying) against an army of presumably corrupt government scum. Even if Sega wasn’t trying to channel Stallone in Ashura, the original Japanese Mark III version, the main character more than looks the part. His name evokes the lone wolf, the soldier who’s too good at war, and thus, can never escape exotic deathscapes. Yeah, Rambo… he’s got a pair I can get behind.
