Summary

Amazing how good the older games were

The Good

This was such a great game. You begin by dropping supplies over enemy territory and then parachuting out. From there you have limited supplies and often limited time to complete mission objectives.

One of the great features was the diversity of missions, stealing information, sabotage, diversion. Although the map changed very little, different objectives required different playing methods. In some levels you had to avoid enemies and in others you could be Rambo.

The Bad

If this game had been designed today, the different levels would have been tied together by some narrative link. There was no story in the game, but back then it didn't matter.

The Bottom Line

A thoughtful war game with emphasis on stealth and concealment.
