    Wow, this game was pretty ambitious for its time, it has a nice variety of levels: a side-scroller, an early attempt at first person shooter, a point-and-click element, a rail shooter... It's pretty neat for '87!

    O M G! The fabled tunnel sections, I never even got that far. I got to the village hits but never into the tunnels, when you are 9 years old in the 80s, C64 games seemed so difficult! This was the best in the "Hollywood" pack that came with the C64. The other games seemed impossible, Great Escape looked good but I had no idea what to do & Miami Vice involved the car speeding up & crashing straight away!

    Although I haven't played or seen it for decades, I still remember every single detail of this game! I know every screen frame by frame and I can tell easily the way through the labyrinth in level 1 (the jungle). I always liked the variety of the level design and I think level 2 (the underground tunnel system) is the most thrilling one. I remember that I've beaten the game only once as a kid (I never finished the night shooting at the end of level 2), but that was some moment!!! Brilliant game - and hard as f%§k (at least for my 10 y.o. me)!!!

I just sat there aged about 6 or 7 watching my Dad playing it and kicking ass at it. My Dad is 65 now and smiled when I reminded him about it. 8-BIT and 80's computing will always make the best memories.

    I got Platoon from that club where you would buy 4 games for 25p and then get sent a full-price game every month? I may be wrong on the odd point but they always advertised in Zzap 64 or C&VG my Mum would always go mad and write to them saying I was only 13 and to stop sending games as she wouldn't be buying them, I think I at least did it twice over the years got the stupidly price games at the start and then I bought one game Platoon with my New Barclays cheque book.
