My life is complete...after 25 years I know how it ends - never did finish it back in 1987!

this game used to frighten me as a child, specifically, the part at 1:54

Thank you for this. I was in college when it was originally released. In 1989 after graduation I bought an Amiga 500 (still own but boxed up) and played this game and many other of their titles. It was fun to see the end. I only made it two the moon and defeated the Nazi Amazons twice, but lost against the last alien both times.

One of my favourite Amiga games, never did finish it but made it to the moon once. Love the music in it. Great video, brought back a lot of memories of my childhood!

Wow this is like the silent movies of video gaming

A lot of nostalgia and affection for this game. Those were the days.

I loved this game. First time to ever see the end of the game. XD

I remember putting so many hours into this game as a kid, i could only ever get him to take off once every 9-10 attempts, and usually i would be immediately shot down by the luftwaffe. And yet despite what was incredibly frustrating, I have nothing but affection for this game.

Cinemaware made some truly great games back in the day. This, Wings, Defender Of The Crown, It Came From The Desert, King Of Chicago, They really "created" the cinematic game. I'd love to see some modern remakes of these. I know they remade DOTC a few years back, but I want to kill giant ants and rule Chicago once more.

These Amiga games were revolutionary in gaming. Cinemaware was the greatest of them all. They could create an amazing strategy game with amazing graphics (for the time).

taking off was virtually impossible I loved this game though. Finished it once.

Masterpiece

Brilliant, that brought back a lotof good memories playing that game. That was the best game graphics going at that time. Great Post

Danke für deine tolle Arbeit hier!!

Ah the memories. Never could finish this game though. Thanks for posting this.

After cleaning of the disk and repair now the copy is operative...worth it!!

I love old Cinemaware classics. TV Sports games, It Came From the Desert series and Defender of the Crown are among my alltime favorites. Thanks for posting this. :)

Why yes, in this game you do fight Nazi amazons on the Moon.

wow I forgot about this game! one of my all time favorites on the amiga

Played on my Tandy 1000 SL/2 bought at RadioShack. Got to the moon only one time, but never finished the game. Happy to finally see the ending. Phew.

This was my all time favorite game for the Amiga, and perhaps still has one of the best endings to any game I ever played.

LMAOOOO I used to play this all the time on our old Compaq :) this and SimFarm- thanks for the upload ((nostalgia feels))

Awesome, thanks so much for posting this. Last time I played it I was about 9 years old and sucked so bad, but always wanted to know how it turned out. Not sure about the stupid alien boss, but was great to finish it via your longplay...!

Thanks for longplay!

Brilliant video! Really! Thank you for fast forwarding repetitions :)

Really good to see the end as I never saw it back in the day.

I never made it past the female guards on the moon. Great to finally finish the game, albeit vicariously. Thanks for making this! "Only Amiga!"

This game needs one thing more than a player: a second floppy drive! :D

I played this like a bazillion times and only once made it to the moon (where I took to much time in the "mindless zombie slaves" stage). Was rather underwhelmed when I saw the ending years later.

This Game at the time was at the forefront of programing for the Amiga and a lot of thought was presented given how complex the computer language was in those days.It was good to see the ending for as I only got to the Moon landing and then got distracted at the last second and could not save the last battle. uggg! Thank you for showing the last sequence of this game. Too bad That Amiga did not evolved further as I was quite a supporter of this OS at that time! There was nothing like it !!!!!!!

Superb game - thanks for the post

I noticed you never ordered any of the spies to organize resistance.

OK coming from the NES game I did not expect the intro to make me laugh that hard. XD

Rocketeer!!

So many Call of Duty games followed this kind of animatic loading screen formula

Took me nearly twenty years before I finally finished this game! I swear that 'guard 4' is harder than 'guard 5'. Absolute classic! For anyone that's interested I've done a cover of the intro music on my channel :) (sorry for the spam)

Absolutly Amazing...

One of my favorite, but difficult Amiga Games.

I remember it too. It was a very difficult game and it came with an coordinates wheel

Thanks for posting this. I've only played the NES game, which doesn't hold a melted candle to the Amiga version.

think you could upload a NES version of this longplay? alot of Nostalgia here :)

I have just been given an old falling apart A600. I've put a 3.1 bios and OS via CF card. I don't really have a clue about Amigas since I've never used one before. I wanted one when I was a teen but I had 0% chance of getting one. All my friends had one but I didn't. My A600 has 1mb of RAM but it says it can't allocate shadowmem. Would 2mb be enough to run this game given that I assume the OS is also using RAM. p.s dumb question, can I just turn the Amiga off and the power brick or is there a 'proper' way of shutting it down?

Such a good game.

Thank you for uploading. Teenage me got very frustrated and without any outside help gave up. The think I remember the most was shooting at flying planes as the Nazi machines took over and never being able make it past the 3rd time doing that. Since this walk through never did that once, tells me it was a futile sidetracktion.

Omg memories

Rocketeer vibes. I get it now.

I loved that game.

It's a good game. well done for finishing it. A shame it didn't show the fighter versus rocket ranger scene if you fly to Germany! That really is a challenge :)

Where did you learn to fly?

I completely agree with you! Even with an accelerator, it doesn't make up for the IIgs version lacking certain animation FX that exists in the Amiga version. This game's music is so damn good that I recorded all of the music to audio tape. Keep in mind that there were no portable digital audio devices at that time!

still great stuff ~ onward ~ cubex warriors & I'm sooo glad Ya'll included the patty-cake-fists part ~ Good stuff

Ah memories... I loved completing this time and time again. I still have it on my Xbox Amiga Emulator but no wheel sniff! Always remember it was 23 to the Atlantic to save the Professor and daughter lol Hated fighting the last German for the last rocket part.

Taking off was the hardest part

Finally I've found the name of the game! I forgot how it was called. Rocket Ranger! Yeah! Thanks!

I played this and Defender of The Crown all night back in the late 80's

I don't remember getting that many spies killed. But I also never mastered take-offs and fist fights like this.

Technically brilliant for it's time. There wasn't a game here, a technical demo and endless disk swapping.

Excellent...

Have this on the old Amiga 2000. Rocket Ranger was neat, but the strategy/light action elements were an acquired taste not for everyone. Graphics and sounds were solid.

Brilliant game

the fights used to crack me up...."what are they doing? always fighting in the same room and damn it takes a while!" still cracks me up

Fists of accuracy! :)

amazing you do are a expert :)

Just remembered on rocket ranger - you had a card to help you calculate the milage - if you popped the wrong numbers down you ended up in a different country - also the countrys were not labelled or named to make this harder?

This game looks fun and the graphics look amazing! And I really appreciate the fast forward on the one-on-one fights with the Nazi guards ;)

I remember playing the sanitized version of this for the NES.

I started WITHOUT the decoder wheel. Finding out the codes for each country by trial and error was part of the fun. When I completed the "wheel", I found out i was doing better in the game when my choices were limited.

I love how the game plays out. Its cool. Your time in completeing the mission depends largely on you getting into space before the Nazis conquer America. In the meantime, as you do, you see nation after nation fall to the third Reich. Though I must say, the ending is silly. I DOUBT the Nazis would just give up having lost their moon base.

LOOOL they'd never do that in todays games, this game was so much fun and so advanced when you look at what was out at the time.

16. Years ago.... daaamn

oh my god i loved this game... the number of school holidays that were eaten up playing this, f16 combat pilot, m1 tank platoon, populous and monkey island...[sigh]

Like most Cinemaware stuff - great graphics, great presentation, great strategy elements that are all sort of ruined by repetitive and overly difficult arcade sections.

10:42 - FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!

thanks

You can download this (PC, Amiga, and others)and others from the cinemaware web site, or play online for free

How did you know how much Lunarium to fuel in your jet pack?

Wasn't the intro a bit longer? My friend had this and I had helped him make a school video presentation and we recorded a scene where there were German bombers flying over head and marching troops. Maybe that was if you lost part fo the game?

Not big on having your agents building resistance, eh? You play recklessly! =o) I LOVE THAT GAME!

Isn't that what happened on "Enterprise" in the two part episode "Storm Front?" ;-)

A nice Game for the Amiga!! Cinemaware make good Games like Wings and Rocket Ranger!

Good god, that fistfighting looks arduous.

My thoughts exactly...

The audio FX in this game sound very much like the ones from Deuteros and Millennium 2.2.

Been better if the old R.R. Had saved the maiden aft the end of that gruelling visit down memory lane - I loved this game not because of what it is - but because of what I wanted it to be ? - we never got far, So was great to see some of the places we've(my son + me) never got to see ! - Now graphics & games stories are so good now that we are in awe of the visuals, game play &story lines -we had great times with Rocket Ranger & it's stable mate the three stooges & also the ant sci fi thingy can't think of name - them - it ? Great times thanks SB

So great to be able to watch playthroughs of all these Amiga games I had as kid and couldn't finish. This one was particularly horrible. I started to wonder if the game wasn't about swapping disks. I remember having to switch disks like 3 times and go through long load sequences just to get through one takeoff montage. Now that I can see the whole game from beginning to end, I realize this game was just lame. It was eye candy for the time, but the core of the game is very, very thin.

I buy original copy of the game in internet, it dident work, but i make a copy of the disk 2 and at last i can see the presentation...i love the presentation of the game, back memorys...

There was also a sequence where RR fought German planes - that happened when you flew to Germany (which also gave a huge lunarium boost).

I still have this game fully workkng on my old Amiga 500. But it's a censored version! Don't know why...🤔

That was cool as mate!! I feel sorry for the people that never got to play this game as I think it was one of the best. I agree with timewaster72 it would have been pretty cool if you let the zepplin get to Germany the second time round where the guy gets strapped in the chair and zapped... but then time was always a critical factor in the game...

myt favorite game from childhood. it kicks everyones butt...several times. can somebody please let me know how to download this game...i wanna play it

cinemaware great games

I played the NES version of this many years ago. This was yet another Cinemaware game for the Amiga that was utterly wrecked by being ported to the NES. This version is way better. =)

@Suckfest83 I had a pirated copy, so I didn't have the wheel, but I had a print out. Maybe I should post the info on a wiki or something...

wings was awesome

Ft. Dix is that anywhere near Ft Nuts?

They even made a comic series in 1991-92 based on this game. Too bad they didn't bother to produce the final volume, though.

To be continued where there every a second game? .-)

Same room and the guy makes the same sound when you punch him in the stomach. :D

Is there a sequel to this game?

capt. cody --- to this --- even inspired lucas...
