Please don't die, hang around and create more game threads. What's Amiga without those sweet games created by passionate and/or (initially) hobby programmers ? I've rarely visited AO lately due to this.


I've got one I can't remember: A solitary figure, like a Commando or Rambo type character running around in fatigues (?) on an almost empty, military style map, shooting up bad guys.

The animation style was almost like a cartoon, and the figures rather small, I would say smaller than Turrican.

I would play this game for hours back in the day, even though I uh, didn't really like it all that much!

It had some type of title reminiscent of the words 'Commando' or 'Rambo', but I cannot for the life of me remember it!

Fireforce?


Sorry, no, that's not quite it. Its been driving me nuts all these years - it had the most maddening and insistent little soundtrack. I really hated that game, but I just couldn't stop playing it, lol!

I'm looking at some screenshots of different Amiga military-style games, and its starting to look like it was actually a game called Rambo...

Viewed from the side or top-down? (Dogs of war?)


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! :)

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!

info on game

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.


THAT'S IT!!! I hated that game, but I played it everyday - for hours!

Where can I get it??
