OK, first let me start with a predisclaimer, I am old enough to have received PONG for christmas, then the Atari, so, I have had many systems, all the way to my 360. Rambo was one of my favorite SMS games, but what I always found funny was that the POW's gave him all the neccessary weapons and explosives...Huh??? Why didn't they break themselves out years ago then??? The other thing that was great, bullets that only go 15 feet or so before dissappearing like a fart into thin air?
hehe a lot of people hated the NES version of rambo.. i actually enjoyed it.. ( well only later on when i got an emulator and was able to save/load states.. other than that the game was a fucking pain in the ass...)
You're right, SEGA could'nt get the proper licensing for the game over here in the UK and Europe, so over here, this was known as "Secret Command", intro aside, its the exact same game.
@CrazyShacklez Yes, they did. In fact, it was called "Secret Commando" for the European market. It was also called "Ashura" for the Japanese market. There was no Rambo license for those regions. I have this game as "Secret Commando" as a Virtual Console title on my Wii system.
He is using a code or cheat, you can tell 2 ways one on the top left of the screen when he fires the arrows the amount never decreases, and if you get hit by the sparks the exploding arrows shoot out they kill you and i saw several clearly hit him and he did not die...Fake.
They decrease from 5 to 3 from 0:13 to 0:20. The thing is, he has more than 9, and 9 is the highest number it will display, so when he fires, the digit is still 9 until he has less than 9 arrows left. As for the sparks, that may be true. Can you point out a time where this happens?
Well I think the guy is only just wanting to show us the game ect, and not how much of a pro vintage gamer with mad skills he is, right? either way fuckin cool game, and it's really cool to see it again, brings back old memories of my sega master system, Afterburner, Kings Quest ect ect. Awsome vid, Cheers, IC.
Man Ive played this game millions of times on the dreamcast emulator i had, up until about 2 years ago, I love this game. I wish I got to enjoy rambo 3, it didnt work on my disk.
I did not own a SMS (owned NES), but I did play Rambo, Rocky, Choplifter, Shinobi, and of course, Out Run. Those were the first line of games, which they had. Don't ya'll just miss the 80's? If you did not get a chance to enjoy the 80's, don't respond to the question.
Those were the best times There was something special about those games in that era...I still have my SMS and play these games often...i recently introduced my little cousins to the SMS they are PS2 fanatics ...they are totally hooked now on the SMS and believe it or not hav stopped playing on PS2 altogether
I agree with you, although I never owned a SMS and only played one game for it, California Games if I remember correctly... not the best game by far. I always had the impression that the SMS was not a good system, after seeing Sonic, MK2 and this version of Rambo this is really good. I love the swamps and camouflage nets. But you can only hold nine arrows or it only shows nine? I see when maxed and used it stays at nine some times. But do not throw the PS2 away, Katamari is still good
The reason why a lot of people thought the SMS was bad was because Nintendo locked in all the good game developers to exclusive contracts. If there had been more companies making games for SMS, it would have done a lot better. The technical specs were actually better than NES in many ways. It was the same problem that Atari had with the 7800. They had to go around and get a lot of home computer games ported over because they couldn't get many good arcade games because of Nintendo.
Wow I miss playing this with my cousin Matt for hours on end, the Co-op mode was awesome he would take the left side I would take the right all the way to the end, good times.
Yeah, I was surprised to hear some of these songs ( 2nd stage track ) where arranged on a SEGA AGES music compilation CD from Japan. That was a treat ^_^
Man this brings back many memories. i use to play this game before i even started first grade. i use to get very far but i dont think i actually beat it. i nearly cried watching this again.
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.
the version i had was called secret command too. absolutely loved that game, brings back fond memories watching this. simple plot and gameplay, would still rather play games like this than the over the top stuff they bring out today.
Rambo was also 2 players, but to make it 2 player, Sega added the second character named Zane (who is an original character which never appeared in the movies)
SMS, and Rambo were my favorite game/systems as a kid! First owned an NES with ROBI the Robot but tripped over the chord, nes dropped and broke. Our friend who managed a Toys "R" Us told us that Nintendo was in trouble and was no longer manufacturing the nes, and offered us a Sega MS in replacement. So glad she did!!!
From what I hear, Sega Master System games will be coming to the Wii Virtual Console this month. We probably won't see this game there, due to licensing issues -- rather, we might see "Secret Command", the Eastern version of this game (which has no licensed content).
Omg I used to love this game and Rocky!

I like those older games better than the newer ones. I think the former were more oriented to having fun.
Not that today's games aren't fun or good, but I think there's too much attention to making them look real, like realistic graphics.
Of course, it was easier to be creative and do original stuff in the past.
