Official description
You are a member of elite corps selected for your courage, ingenuity and special skills to go on the most dangerous missions. Parachute behind enemy lines armed only with a machine gun and hand grenades.
Airborne Ranger is a fast-paced action-simulation that challenges your strategic skills and reflexes. Control one soldier's battle against overwhelming odds. You can run, walk or crawl across full-scrolling 3-D terrain using trees, bushes and ravines to avoid the enemy or set up an ambush.
Whether rescuing hostages from a terrorist prison or infiltrating the headquarters of an enemy unit every mission takes careful planning and pinpoint execution. Drop caches of weapons and first aid supplies, out manoeuvre the enemy, then locate the pickup zone in order to reach safety. Airborne Ranger is an exciting combination of action, danger and suspense.
AIRBORNE RANGER FEATURES * Simulation of action behind enemy lines * 12 exciting missions * Full-scrolling 3-D graphics * Various terrains to encounter * Multiple enemy threats * Modern weaponry * Comprehensive documentation * Endless hours of constructive entertainment
