Dogs of war, Mercs, Ikari Warriors, Warzone, Commando or Total Carnage I guess then.
 Maddening music? Then surley it's Dogs of war or Ikari warriors

Wow, the Commando and Rambo games look so much alike! I guess I'll just have to dig up a soundtrack snippet to see when one makes me grind my teeth, lol!

The screenshots I'm looking at for the Rambo game look like top-down. I think this is it, but I'd need to hear the maddening music to be sure! :)

"top-down" aka bird's-eye view ? (edit: I suppose I should've actually asked Dr.Bongo)

I don't recall having played many top-down view games. I remember Rambo III, It Came from the Desert, Cannon Fodder, Chaos Engine, and... ? There are probably a few more but I don't remember right now.

Hi mate here is a link to the music

http://www.recordedamigagames.org/modules/music/index.php?min=50&list=R&orderby=titleA

and here is a link to the video - loads on you tube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGKaMIiIQwE

info on game

http://hol.abime.net/1195

I hope this helps, & yes I played this game quite a lot but never completed it, still got this and loads of other Amiga games (most original & some pirate copies).

PS I think I need a tardis to go back to the mid eighties and nineties.

Great fun.
