![]() True, you don’t get to drive a tank or a helicopter, but you’re also spared the endless torture of Ikari‘s painfully long stages. However, one big difference is that, unlike Micronics’ horrific NES port of SNK’s arcade game, Rambo is actually playable, well-programmed, and even fun. And when grenades begin pelting you from off-screen, any Ikari veteran will instantly know you’re being punished for staying in one place too long. The methodical gameplay and slow-pivoting protagonist are strongly reminiscent of Ikari Warriors, so are smaller details like the ubiquitous flamethrower soldiers, or the rock formations that fire projectiles from their stony faces. Others, like Golden Axe Warrior, duplicate the gameplay of another title (in this case The Legend of Zelda) to the point where experience with one lets you jump right into the other, but at least they took the time to slap on a different skin.Īt first glance, Rambo: First Blood Part II seems like an example of the latter. Some tread dangerously close to plagiarism, like Super Tennis, a shameless clone of Nintendo’s “black box” Tennis. The North American Master System library has no shortage of “me too” games brought out to compete with the NES.
