+Razzie.P Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Heck yeah! I'm a huge fan of all things Rambo, so I'm pretty excited to see this in the rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Are other versions of the game okay? Not sure if they're different aside from aesthetics. I'll probably just stick to the Rambo skin, but thought I'd ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I just won a Rambo III cart off of ebay. Too late for this season, but maybe another time we'll do a combined Rambo & Rambo III round. That said, Rescue Mission is pretty awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time (1988) Sega didn't have "Operation Wolf" for their system and if you like that game, Rambo III was your only option. Remember "Operation Wolf" wasn't released for the Sega Master System until 1990. By that time many Sega gamers (including myself) moved on to the Genesis, so we never really had a "Operation Wolf" game BITD if it wasn't for "Rambo III". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually got Operation Wolf, I think it's a really good port. I'm curious to see how close they are now. The Rambo III screenshots in magazines always looked awesome.

BydoEmpire Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) I went to play a bit of Rambo, but I couldn't get my cart to work... so instead I took a stab at Rescue Mission. I actually finished it on Normal, I don't know if I had before. It's not that hard at all, but I don't remember the ending. The ending message was pretty cool: The two dancing soldiers are awesome: Final score: 245,800 Edited September 21, 2022 by BydoEmpire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Okay, this is what I got on RAMBO II: 286,600 This game gets really hard as you go up in levels. I cleared round 5, but 6 kicked my butt. I've only been to round 6 one other time I think. I actually have a slightly higher score, but I died early mid level on round 6 and didn't get a picture. I still have the game running so if I play again and get to the end round screen it should show my highest score. I guess I will play one more time tonight to get the picture... ----Update---- Here's my updated picture (score: 288,500) in round 6. I had to play a round to see it because it isn't on the screen very long after you die. I think I'm done for tonight. I'll try rescue mission this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razzie.P Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Rambo -- 1,314,550 Yes, Rambo. You do get to win this time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razzie.P Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 For Rambo, interesting points info from the manual. I noticed the bonuses during the ending scenes, but wasn't sure what they meant, so tracked this down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure how those bonuses work, but based on what I've seen, that's pretty good for that point in the game, and when you finish Round 6, the scores jacks up to over a million. I checked out some "full game" plays on youtube to see where my score lands, and they all seem to have about 280,000 going in to Rnd 6, and then jumps to 1,300,000 at the end. I didn't do any point pressing or anything, so I figure yours will be about the same, if not more, if you get past that final round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 I'm bad at this game, but it's one of those (rare) games I have fun with even though I suck. At least a score is up. 19,900 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 lol, I'm really bad at this game too. Gotta remember to post a score soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razzie.P Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I finished Rambo a couple more times, but with lower scores. And I realize why -- during my posted run, I was very careful, overly cautious and moving a bit slow at times. I think this allowed more enemies to come into play. As I got more comfortable, I'm rushing forward a bit, so the game's easier and quicker, but getting lower scores as a result. Funny how the better I got, the worse my score 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely can make it to round 6. I find that in rounds 5 & 6 the player is less likely to get the weapon upgrades. If you die after round 4, good luck getting your long shot and strong back.

BydoEmpire Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Slightly better. I lost a life because Dega seemed to lose controller input starting the second level, had to switch to keyboard and then back. Weird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Don’t care for this one, mainly bc it turns out I’m horrible at it haha. I just can’t get the controls right. The fact that people are beating it...woof. Looking at the demo, I can see there being potential in the two player game. I got embarrassingly nowhere, and couldn’t hit pause fast enough to snap a pic (things only master system players say lol). 11,000 Off to play some Rescue Mission for the bonus point. Pew pew.

fakecortex Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Y’all know I like me a good phaser game! Level 2 ramps up the difficulty with guys attacking you at all times. I really like how you can shoot everything that’s thrown at ya. Rescue Mission bonus - 46,000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Razzie.P Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Rescue Mission -- 128,200 Pains me to say it, but not all of our boys made it home during this run 😞 but ya know... I blame leadership for this failure. They send our rescue team in riding a hand trolley protected by a dude with a toy pistol, while the enemy has jetpacks and rocket launchers. ... this fiasco never would have happened if I was controlling John James Rambo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I own Rambo III, he may have to make an appearance in a future round of light gun shooting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
