remember this 091014Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?

I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.

Good luck!

      I reckon that was called The Rocketeer for the Amiga version – mate had it and I borrowed it a bit, tho can’t remember a heap about it.

        The movie was The Rocketeer, the game was Rocket Ranger. Not sure how the two correlate.

      I’d forgotten about that game.
      It was simply brilliant.
      Does anyone remember the 3 stooges game that was around the same time.
      Another classic.

        These were the Cinemaware games. They were an excellent developer. Also, It Came From The Desert and Defender of the Crown were some of their games. Have many fond memories.

        Where did this developer go? Swallowed up by another?

    My brother and I loved playing Airborne Ranger. Just shows how much gaming has changed.

    Did this game predate Commando?

    Airborne ranger was easily my favorite commodore 64 game.

    I still have the box, manuals and keyboard overlays for it too.

    I’m too slow. Airborne Ranger. Best game. This is also the first game I’ve recognised in this segment. Whee!
