this brings back good memories!

My cousin had this on the ZX Spectrum. Every time you were shot, the game would completely reset itself and you'd have to go through the whole loading procedure again.

Which was a right shame as it seemed like a good game.

Ah memories! I rarely used to get past the jungle level and if I did I was usually close to being out of morale anyway.

I only ever made it out of the beginning jungle level to the bridge once. Fecking hated games with mazes that looked the exact same. Still I've got the SID theme stuck in my head now for the rest of the day.

youtube is firewalled, but i'd love to have a go right now and see if I can remember my way out from memory before I watch the vid.

what was it, jungle, underground, foxhole? I can't remember any other levels.

Theres a 2nd jungle where you fight barnes at the end of it.

Havent a video of it yet, i beat it on an emulator not too long ago, but probably used the trainer because its a bitch of a level!

I first played Platoon as part of this games pack http://cgi.ebay.ie/Commodore-64C-Hollywood-Pack-Boxed-with-games_W0QQitemZ170210821565QQihZ007QQcategoryZ3544QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
A real eye opener. I remember liking it but I don't think I could ever get past that underground tunnels level.

Some fun games in that pack Miami Vice was rubbish but it clearly had some impact on the makers of Grand Theft Auto. The similarities are many.Rambo First Blood was a classic tho and still is

does anyone remember playing this game with a lightgun as well as a joystick for level 2 etc? fantastic experience and it really made this game stand apart. i still remember it today 20 years since i last played it!

I had a demo tape called Blaze Out or Blast or something, and it was full of demos that used the light gun, and had the tunnels level in it.

I cant remember if i used the joystick or not though!
Some dude on the tube said it used do the walking for you if you had the light gun in.

Think I got to level 5.
What was unique about Platoon on Commodore 64 was the variety in every level - each new stage had a whole different gameplay style.
The secodn stage was a FPS long before Wolfenstein!
Great game really.

I think the Untouchables was something similar - every stage was unique gameplay wise.
