I found a way to reconfigure the game (simply delete the CONFIG.DAT file and when you run the game you can configure your graphic card, your sound device and the controls: mouse, joystic, keyboard).It’s been almost 30 years since he was first introduced to movie audiences, but UK-based video game publisher Reef Entertainment hasn’t forgotten about the one-man army named John Rambo. If you are a more strategy-simulation type, this is probably not for you. If you like the movies and the action, give it a try. In my opinion, this game is really fun and should occupy you for hours if you are a serious player. In terms of learning curve: the average gamer should find the game a bit difficult in the beginning, but the interface is quite easy to understand. But in the end, this game is very clever and advanced for its age. The interface can seem weird at first, but you usually get the hang of it pretty fast.Īll in all, Rambo III deserves a 4 rating, because of the funky controls and how unrealistic the weapons are.
Also, I found myself often getting “stuck” in nooks and crannies in the furniture and so forth (I guess Rambo is too beefy to get through the doorways!). Graphics: exceedingly good for the year 1989: 256 colors, relatively small pixels.Ĭontrols: probably the only bad thing about this game, but if you are used to old action games, unlike me, you should do just fine: mouse to move around, click to shoot or stab, spacebar to check inventory and choose items. And that is pretty much it, concerning plot and game play.Ĭompatibility: works just fine with Dosbox. The game is surprisingly creative with its objects, such as you can collect bones to throw at the dogs, and find night-vision glasses and so forth. But anyway, you make your way through the castle meeting lots of resistance, including enemies such as attack dogs and so forth. How a shirtless American commando with only a knife can stand up against several hundred angry Soviets armed with AK-47’s is any one’s guess.
The game is ridiculously unrealistic, but still very fun. With the help of some Afghan freedom fighters, you are smuggled into the fortress, and then you are on your own. Your mission in the game is rescue your various friends, who have been captured by the sinister Soviets (ah, the most durable of all game villains) and are being held hostage in an Afghani Fortress. It proves very faithful to the third movie in that it involves that age-old chunky commando, John Rambo, and his adventures in Afghanistan. Rambo III is a top-down shoot-em-up based off the old Rambo movies of the 80’s.
