Rambo III is a name for a different platformer based on the film of the same name. Like in the film, its main plot centers on former Vietnam-era Green Beret John Rambo being called back to duty one last time to rescue his former commander, who was captured during a covert operation mission in Soviet Union -controlled Afghanistan.
Sega Master System version
The Sega Master System version, released in 1988, is a light gun rail shooter in the lines of Operation Wolf. The Light Phaser is supported.
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version
The Sega Mega Drive version, released in 1989, follows Rambo in six missions, in each one with various objectives. Besides finding the exit of the level, in some missions, prisoners must be freed or enemy ammunition supplies destroyed. Rambo is controlled from an overhead perspective and has several weapons at his disposal. Besides a machine gun that never runs out of ammo, he can use a knife for close range kills, set off timed bombs and use his famous longbow with explosive arrows. Ammunition for the bow and the bombs is limited and can be collected from dead enemies. Rambo himself, on the other hand, is vulnerable and can be killed after one hit.
After some of the missions, the perspective switches to a view behind Rambo and additional boss fights take place. Soviet tanks or helicopters must be destroyed using the crossbow. While aiming the bow, Rambo cannot move, but otherwise he can hide behind rocks or other obstacles from enemy fire. If you beat Rambo 3 within twenty minutes on the Sega Mega Drive version of the game, the entire film namesake is played from start to finish.
