Gameplay

The game starts off with Colonel Trautman asking Rambo whether or not he wants to leave the prison and start the mission. Players are given a choice, but cannot advance in the game unless "yes" is chosen. Players advance through the camp and talk to others, and when talking to Trautman again, he tells Rambo the mission. Rambo then drops into the forest and fights spiders and other forest creatures. Bosses include giant spiders and helicopters. The game has similar gameplay to '' Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''. In the Japanese version, the experience meter is replaced by an anger meter; however, it functions exactly the same. Later in the game, Rambo picks up an arsenal of weapons and fights enemy soldiers, but this happens close to the end of the game. The ending sequence allows the player to throw a giant kanji character ( , ''Ikari'':Anger) towards Murdock after returning to the base, which inexplicably turns Murdock into a frog. The USA version ends with a simple "End", but the Japanese Famicom version contains staff credits. It is unknown why this was left out of the USA version.
