I made it to the last stage but i quit after jst getting there. I was like enough! i got here.....i'm happy. Glad to finally see the ending...great game....still would play it today on my master system. Never saw the nes version been reading how they all say it sucked...gonna go see it now.
Used to play this flat out, had a mate who despite the fact that I would nurse him through the entire game and swapped controllers, he would have 16+ lives and still not survive the last round to the end... never cracked the game in many years!
I swear on my life that the original version of this game is not beatable. Either that or there's a bug and it's not beatable on 2 player mode. I got to the end several times and the walls didn't blow up. This guy shoots at it a couple times and he wins. Not to mention the ending is just 2 graphics and some credits so it wouldn't be hard to add.
@BluffHappy Ha ha, I felt the same way. I made it to the very last part many many times but the wall just never blew up. Course I didn't know you could use your gun. Everything else you need your arrows for so I just kept blasting arrows at it.
@joerock4022 Yeah, you had to press the 2 player button if your 1 player gets a game over and vice versa, but it only works in the first 2 rounds I think.
Mate this is a great video - I was thinking of making a video for this game as well but it seems you beat me to it! Good thing I didn't make a video because I had no idea how to kill the last boss!
i dont no y they didnt call this game RAMBO in Australia they called it secret command if i new it was rambo bak then i might of been suked into playing it but i hated the dam game with a passion lol
I clocked it but in two player mode but is the one game which I think encapsulates my youth.... fantastic game...too many memories... life was simpler back then...
hey, remember that part in Rambo where he had to shoot a strange glowing face in a wall at the end of the movie while being heckled by a tank? Neither do I.
@jnoble12 I believe the last stage is a metaphor for Rambo dealing with his inner demons (i.e. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder brought upon by the Vietnam war). The face at the end is his psyche that he is battling. The canon represents his id, while the tank represents his ego.
this guy beats the game without even killing that tank at the end! i can't tell you how many times (when i was about 10 years old)i lost on the final fight by a bounding grenade catching me on the far left side of the screen. nice job.
I don't remember too well but... I think that at the beginning of the beach level, if you shoot the glowing rocks with an arrow, they blow up and you get power-ups.
There is a glitch in the game. First you need to get the special arrows. Then, do not burn the houses. Move slowly up until the houses are just below the screen. Fire a special arrow at the corner of the screen where the house would be. The spark of the arrow should hit the hidden house. You should get more special arrows by doing this.
yeah you are right... man i wished they would have made another game like this i think this and the ninja are the first games i ever beat in my whole life man
Playing this on an emulator i assume? Seems to run faster than on the SMS. I was just playing on the SMS today... Nice run, I got to the end guy today for the first time... but uh... I didn't know how to beat him. Good job. Thanks for the help.
One way to play with this game, was using the ROLLER BALL JOY STICK that SMS gave out. I won this game, I felt stoked as hell in the aqua/water level.
yeah, i always explore EVERYTHING in a game, and in life in general. by the way, I learned to use more of my arrows/granades, all thanks to you, thanks.
I get to the end, but die quickly, lol. You make it look way too easy!
