Rambo
Описание игры
Джон Рэмбо – ветеран войны во Вьетнаме, оболганный и опошленный в первой части одноименного фильма, где он вынужден скрываться от полиции и властей, вдруг становится совершенно незаменимым во второй части фильма, когда речь вдруг заходит об американских военнопленных, захваченных вьетнамцами и удерживаемых в заложниках. Не смотря на всю обозленность главного героя на власти, у него доброе отзывчивое сердце, и он берется выполнить это смертельное задание – выручить из плена военнопленных. Игра на ZX Spectrum под названием Rambo повторяет сюжет оригинального фильма от Carolco.
Скажем сразу, техническое исполнение игры достаточно слабое для такой именитой конторы, как Ocean Software и в целом повторяет игру Commando, выпущенную в том же 1985 году. Интересно кстати, какая игра была первой. Рэмбо, которым управляет игрок, перемещается вверх по карте. Ему противостоят вьетнамские солдаты, стреляющие иногда одиночными выстрелами. У Джона Рэмбо в арсенале лишь метательные ножи и несколько гранат. Именно с такими запасами ему предстоит пройти всю карту, освободить десяток заложников, полетать на вертолете и успешно закончить игру, скрывшись с вражеской территории в одном из ангаров.
В целом игра несложная, и у бывалых игроков ее прохождение займет пять-десять минут. Противник стреляет редко и мимо, карта несложная, а положение на ней заложников каждый раз одно и то же. Некоторые из них распяты на некоем подобии креста, другие содержатся в бараках. Достаточно коснуться их, и вот они уже спасаются бегством. А игрок бежит за ними, прикрывая их своим телом от вражеских пуль. Всего жизней три, и этого должно быть вполне достаточно, чтобы пройти всю игру без сучка и задоринки.

THE GAME
The game takes place in approximately 1 million
sq. feet (scale) of jungle featuring the P.O.W. camp,
a secret Temple and many different types of terrain.
Colonel Trautman, your C.O. (Commanding
Officer), has given you very precise orders...
Find the P.O.W. camp, photograph the evidence
using the automatic camera which is part of your
standard equipment and then make your way
North to the extraction point where a helicopter
awaits you. You will then be automatically flown
back to the safety of your base in Thailand.
Your orders are specific:
"Do not engage the enemy"
"Do not attempt to rescue"
However when you arrive at the P.O.W. camp and
see your former comrade Banks, tied to a Bamboo
Cross in the compound you know that another
scenario will unfold; one in which you are the Hero!
You must decide...
Ignoring your C.O. and using the knife, you cut your
buddy free - now there is no turning back as you
have alerted the camp guards. Taking Banks with
you, you battle your way North towards the
helicopter in an attempt to get transport to free all
the P.O.W.s.
Having located the chopper you must return to
the camp to find the main body of prisoners -
again using your knife to cut their bounds, hurry to
get them aboard for by now there is a full alert and
the enemy's main weapon, a powerful helicopter
Gunship is sent in pursuit.
Now engage in combat with this fearsome machine
and escape with the prisoners to the safety fo
Thailand.

HINTS and TIPS
* Try not to disturb or engage the enemy
unnecessary, especially on the way to the
P.O.W. camp. (i.e. use of loud weapons will alert
enemy activity).
* Don't stand still in the camp and remember you
will need your knife to cut free the solitary
prisoner.
* Inside the helicopter you can only fire the rocket
launcher.
* It can be very dangerous to deploy certain
weapons in inappropriate circumstances.
* If you decide to blow down the bridge to the
Compound (PRISON CAMP), there is no turning
back - you are commited to becoming a hero.
GOOD LUCK!
