You can get rocket ranger at gog for $6.  http://www.gog.com/game/rocket_ranger_emulated_amiga_edition   As for completing the game, here's a couple of tips:  Some of the enemy bases are always in the same location or very near it.  You can make an educated guess to find the next place to land.  Sometimes guessing is very effective when you don't have all the intelligence that you need.  It can be a process of elimination.  You should also economize on your trips abroad to efficiently move instead of going back and forth and wasting fuel.  I used to make a map and do a bit of planning.  Goodness, I loved that game back in the day.  Music, graphics and gameplay were so awesome.  I didn't even mind that stupid codewheel.  Somehow it added to the complexity in an interesting way.  You had to be very exacting and precise.  There's an article on pcgamer "saturday crapshoot" about rocket ranger:  http://www.pcgamer.com/saturday-crapshoot-rocket-ranger/

I learned something I didn't know.  The DOS VGA version has an extra minigame.  Quoting mobygames: "According to programmer Peter Oliphant, the DOS VGA version has an extra game which is not present in the Amiga lead version. This came about because there was no design document and so he just had to work from the things the programmer of the Amiga version had already finished. At some point, he got ahead and had to wait until more of the Amiga version materialized - and so he developed an extra mini game in that spare time. "

Also if you want some more tips/hints just search for
