Airborne Ranger - learning from the 1980s

This is an action game which puts the player into the role of a US army ranger. The various missions of the ranger includes destroying a bunker, discovering a missile site or even rescuing prisoners – which led to some nice diversity in this simple mouse clicking game.

The game starts rather strategically as you will be given a mission briefing and then in command of a plane flying over the mission area. You will then drop ammo crates over this enemy area before parachuting down. The mission will then play out on how well you plan your route to overcome the enemy territory (including soldiers, mines, bunkers and foxholes) while picking up fresh supplies of ammunition from the crates and achieving your stated mission.

So this wasn’t just a point and shoot game as there are additional elements of strategic and tactical planning. With the variations of missions, environments and enemies, the way to win is not always straightforward which makes it a nice puzzle in some missions. This will be a great game to reminisce how some games are still able to retain excitement and fun in a relatively simple game format. We recommend!
