Does not work

They didn't took the effort to remove the copy protection...so without a manual you can't play it. One day member and I already hate GOG.

Not working

Not working due to copy protection. And I even gave a bit more money for the effort of bringing back good old games... Never again!

ARMA 1980s

I want to make it clear before I continue this review, that I haven't properly played the game in the last 30 years. It was one of few Atari ST games I could find boxed and bought in the 80s. I liked it and it is a fun game. I am sure the PC version is identical other than changes in graphics and sound. Now, gameplay. You get to play missions where you as a lone solider/ranger have to complete them. You usually have a couple of targets/goals. You are dropped with some freedom on the large map and proceed to fight or stealth your way through the mission/map. Think of Fortnite only not for 12yos. Or perhaps for 12yos of the 80s lol. While the game is not a simulation, it was at the time probably the most "simulation" like infantry game till the release of the (what is now known as) Arma series. AKA Operation Flashpoint. You are not going to just go all RAMBO style and win a mission. You have to take it slow, you have to hide, you have to penetrate the enemy defenses and complete your mission. There are terrain obstacles you can use and a variety of equipment. You also get to pick up to 3 IIRC bags which are also dropped from a a plane on different parts of the map to replenish your ammo/equipment or get new types of weapons you might use near that location. Yes you need to plan ahead your mission. The game is very cool and obviously it was unheard of this detail back then for an infantry rambo/commando look alike game. Mostly because it wasn't, this is not just a shoot'em up, this is not Commando. If you can get passed the old for now graphics, this is totally worth it. I don't know if the game contains a manual (this GOG release), but you would be smart to acquire one if there isn't one in the installation files. It's not just a pick up and play type of game. This is not Galaga. Enjoy.
