You can only replenish arrows and bombs by stabbing enemies. Its short range is a detriment in a game where a single hit equals death.
They perform the same function and you don’t have to put up with a five second delay.Īt first the knife seems completely useless. You can wind up each shot at which point they plow through multiple enemies and explode. Composite arrows are the strongest weapon in the game. The wild pattern of shots is actually a boon as enemies come from all sides. The only time it fires straight ahead is when you are moving oddly enough. Your default machine gun has infinite ammo and sprays wildly. In the movie John Rambo was not armed with an arsenal of weapons. A straight arcade port would have been cool but that was probably impossible on the Genesis. This version differs from the arcade as it is an overhead shooter rather than a third person action game. Rambo is called in on one last mission to rescue his former commander. Colonel Sam Trautman is captured behind enemy lines on a covert mission in Afghanistan. If you didn’t know any better you would think the movie was based on the game instead of vice versa. God bless the big dumb action movies of the 80’s and their simple plots. It’s a decent game but doesn’t stand out against later titles in the genre. So eventually I tried out Rambo III and I liked it.
But in those early Genesis days there wasn’t much choice, especially if you didn’t like sports games. All 65 frickin episodes of it (can you believe there was even a Christmas episode?). And that included the goofy ass cartoon that ran in syndication. You see I had a terrible time with Rambo on the NES and wanted nothing to do with anything with his name on it. I avoided Rambo III like the plague back in the day.
