There are also "?" marks, which can kill all enemies in the screen or add a life. These power-ups increase the range of shots, speed, the number of arrows and improve the firepower of the arrows hitting in four directions after the first explosion. Only one power-up can be on screen at a time, so if there is one dropped by an enemy at the time a prisoner should drop another, the prisoner will simply leave. Power-ups are obtained by killing a specific number of enemy soldiers or as bonuses from the prisoners when they are freed from the huts located throughout the first four stages (which are only destroyable with arrows). However, enemies can shoot diagonally upwards. When the player moves downward, the player character will have his weapon aimed upwards. Unlike the aforementioned games, the player can only shoot in five directions (left, up, right, or diagonally up-left or up-right), even though movement is allowed for all eight basic directions.
A second player can join in anytime during the first stage as well until the second stage, in which the game will end for either player if one's lives run out. The player starts off the game with three lives and gains another one for completing each stage. The objective of the game is to fight through the enemy's defenses, reach the gate at the end of each stage and then defeat as many enemy reinforcements as possible until the gate starts flashing in different colors. A second player can play at the same time and control Rambo's partner Zane (a character created for the game), who wears a yellow headband. The first player controls Rambo, who is armed with an M-60 machine gun with unlimited ammunition (which can only fire two shots on-screen) and a limited supply of explosive arrows used to take out tougher obstacles such as tanks and gates. Rambo is an overhead action shoot-'em-up in the vein of Commando and Ikari Warriors. A separate game based on the same film had previously been released on the 8-bit computers.
It was originally released in Japan as Ashura ( 阿修羅 ( アシュラ )), where it was released without the Rambo license.Īnother version was released in Europe and Australia titled Secret Command (stylized on-screen as Secret Commando), which also lacked the Rambo license. Rambo: First Blood Part II (stylized on-screen as Rambo) is an overhead action shoot-'em-up video game loosely based on the 1985 film of the same name that was released in North America by Sega for the Master System in 1986 and then re-released as a budget title in 1990.
