Combat School

For those of you that have never heard of it, it is like Hyper Olympics in military kind of way. You are a trainee at boot camp, where you have to undertake many tasks ranging from a race against your opponent over obstacles such as various height walls, to shooting numerous targets on the shooting range. The only dissapointing event is the Iron Man race where you race against your opponent with a birds-eye view. In the race you get to use a boat on water, which gives you a great advantage over the computer opponent because I dont think he ever uses it.

The control is virtually the same as Hyper Olympics in that you have speed buttons that you press, and also an action button which is used for jumping etc..
Unless you cheat, and use an auto-fire joypad, you will get very tired as you pummel down on the buttons in energy consuming events such as arm-wrestling, and the penalty round which you get to by only just failing an event.

If I remember correctly from the spectrum version, after you have completed all events and beaten your instructor in a fight, you get to do a side-scrolling mission with a green-beret feel to it.
