I was hoping for something good and nostalgic. It's not. It's actually quite the contrary, it's a terrible terrible game. They literary put the 1988 game in a DOS Box for 10 euro's. Not a single change was made and the controls on a 2022 system are horrid. If you can control it at all, since there is no help in how to change weapons for instance. I feel robbed.

Fantastic throwback to C64 time! One of my favorite games as a kid. Nowadays this might be quite simple game, but back in late 80's this was ground breaking. All the options, to gear up your guy like you wish and possibility to advance with very different tactics in the field. The supply drop plane scene and variety in weapons to use. Graphics were so cool and you can move in "all" directions! This was really a...

I love this game but cannot stand the graphics. I played it on my Commodore 64 and Amiga all of the time. Wish they would redo this game and make the graphics better.

This is a Dos-Box release. Nothing is added or fixed. The sound won'¨t work and the game is far too quick to be playable on a moden system. It can be tweaked but for the asked price this is lazy and poorly executed. On the other hand, this is the game that I loved as a kid and worth it - if nothing more - for the nostaliga. Make of it what you want.

Airborne Ranger, developed by MicroProse and released in 1987, stands as a pioneering title in the realm of tactical action games. Set against the backdrop of Cold War-era conflicts, the game places players in the boots of a U.S. Army Ranger tasked with executing high-stakes missions behind enemy lines. Its blend of strategic planning, real-time action, and stealth elements distinguished it from contemporaneous...

I installed the game on my PC, Windows 10. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the below but want to know if there are solutions... - The deployment is super fast. I thought I saw something indicating you could slow it down but not sure how - I cannot figure out what keys to use for various actions: how to display the map, use other weapons (seems like i can only switch to the timebomb and then cannot get back...
