Your mission in the game is rescue your various friends, who have been captured by the sinister Soviets (ah, the most durable of all game villains) and are being held hostage in an Afghani Fortress. It proves very faithful to the third movie in that it involves that age-old chunky commando, John Rambo, and his adventures in Afghanistan. Rambo III is a top-down shoot-em-up based off the old Rambo movies of the 80's. Your gun can jam, which adds to the challenge of finally getting out alive.

The final section changes to an Operation Wolf-style shoot 'em up, with a horde of tanks, foot soldiers and helicopters to face. Section two is identical to the first, except that it is located outside, the enemy are onto you from the start, and there are no traps. Other hazards include mines, trapdoors and booby-trapped doors, but there are enhanced weapons to collect. The locations of the beams are only apparent if you collect the special goggles. It is heavily protected by infra-red security beams, which when activated unleadsh the enemies. In the first part, you explore the building Trautman could be in, through a top-down view of the building. Doing so is a three-part operation approximately following the plot of the film. Colonel Trautman has been kidnapped by the Soviets, and you've gone in there to rescuing him. Rambo's mission is set deep in Afghanistan, in the days when the Soviets occupied it, and America was putting this right (we won't mention who they enlisted to do so).
