A fairly good shoot em' up like Commando but not as good. The main difference to Commando being the levels also went left and right and up and down.

Excellent loading screen when you consider the Spectrum's limitations.

A good war-game that followed the path of Commando inspired by the movie starring Silvester Stallone.

The jungle is full of enemies but, fortunately, you got plenty of arsenal to combat them including a bazooka and some other "toys".

The scroll is excellent and the graphics better than average so ... there´s no reason why this RAMBO should not be considered a good program.

Passable multi-directional shoot'em up based on the Stallone movie

The official game of the iconic film of the 80s is inevitably compared to Elite’s Commando. The differences are that you move Rambo both in a horizontal and vertical way, with a touch of strategy and less thrilling and exciting than the Elite game. You’re in Vietnam to do a reconnaisance mission in the jungle to find evidences of american war prisoners but when you find one of your comrades alive you decide to disobey and save all the prisoners. A knife, explosive arrow, grenades or rocket launcher are some of the weapons you can use. Once you enter the camp rescue the prisoners and escape in a helicopter while an enemy’s helicopter gunship chases you.

In spite of its limited graphics, it doesn’t disappoint. The vertical scroll is good but I miss a similar horizontal one, though. A more than a decent game with a cool tune (in spite of the Spectrum sound limitations) and another great F. David Thorpe loading screen.
