Commodore 64 Rambo: A Hidden EXTRA LEVEL!

Rambo, Ocean, 1986, Commodore 64 version
ACCESS TO A NEW GAME AREA
By following this video, you will get access to a new area in the game: there will be a fight waiting for Rambo at his own home base! Enemies here are at full alert all times, and seems the only thing to do here is trying to survive as long as possible - OR IS IT?
What you need to do first is to complete the game once normally. Then, second time you need to follow the game steps shown on this video in order to access the new area in the north.
A programming bug or a secret area left in purpose for players to find? Is there something else to do than just trying to survive? Watch the video, try it yourself with your Commodore 64 and feel free to share your findings and thoughts in the comments-field.
Anyway, have fun playing this cool new game area!

That music made the long loading time total worth it

[@Bigheadedwon]

lol I remember the load time and I remember the load screen said “patients in a virtue” on the bottom.

[@fl00d69]

Best chip music ever

[@user-ei6tt6er1p]

M-60 for open field killing. RPG and explosive arrow for clearing trees. Still remember after almost 40 years.

[@finnishretroguy9952]

Great game. One of the first games in which you needed to consider when to use a silent weapon and when it is time to use something more powerful (and noisy).

[@christiansparacino8773]

​@finnishretroguy9952 Yes, I found that out the hard way. I used to turn the music off and just listened to the sounds of the weapons going off.

[@leonskum.5682]

Wow the memories. The music just comes straight back to me after all these years. One of the few games that I actually completed.

[@user-ei6tt6er1p]

Memories…5th/6th grade1986-ish. Copied this game from a friend. It was gold!

[@dycedarg19]

I remember this game taking FOREVER to load, with many times not loading. I’ve only played this a few times because that, but I will always remember the game music!

[@grzegorz__]

The music is still insane! :)

[@AchtungBaby77]

The SID chip is timeless 👍

[@martinsolomon5500]

All hail the SID chip. Music is sick

[@acquiesce100]

Rambo 2 C64 and Rambo 3 on the Sega Megadrive. Pure gold.

[@tcdotson9443]

I forgot all about this game. Cool find!

[@ericwong432]

I like the BGM.

[@pjcnet]

All the times I've completed this game and never knew this.

[@markl5562]

soon as that intro music kicked in, I was tying on my imaginary headband and loading my explosive tipped arrows

[@zachgaskins3731]

Sounds like they didn't bother to code a restriction that prevents you from freeing the POWs before getting the helicopter, so the next time you get in it, it thinks you've already done that and starts you at the camp, and the next time you land it doesn't recognize that you've freed them and lets you walk around.

[@perkl1234]

The restriction must be freeing the lone soldier and getting to helicopter, but one of the variables isn't reset when you start round 2. Very nice catch.

[@gdawwg1125]

Such a great game

[@javierdumond7054]

you needed two joysticks, pointing in opposite direction, to fly with super speed 😊

[@tituolna]

I think that Return-button did the same thing?

[@javierdumond7054]

[@balfake3117]

Where's the extra level?

[@g04tn4d0]

I'm fucking here for this!

[@ingolf17]

Great find! Its the war you cant win. Ask Murdoch ;)

[@skybuck2000]

Hitman has a jungle level, just like this, where hitman has to fight a drug baron who can't feel pain cause he is on his own dope ! LOL.

[@dazdaz105]

Another fine example of the C64 music being better than the game.

[@tylsimys67]

Did they kill Rambo in the end? (:

[@smw211]

How do you manage to get the chopper to go fast like that? It was the hardest part, b/c the Hind is right on your ass the whole time...

[@finnishretroguy9952]

The secret of "turbo copter" is RETURN-key. This, and other similar tricks are instructed on another video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nCdKiLhddnqJI

[@enverhaase8562]

@@finnishretroguy9952 I remember I used to use both joysticks in port 1 and port 2, and one had to be pushed upwards and the other downwards.

[@finnishretroguy9952]

Oh, thanks! I need to try this also. You see, I am trying to find out how exactly I have made Rambo to run with super speed. It sometimes happens when I press random keys with joystick directions. But how exactly, is still a mystery I'm trying to solve.

[@TheOriginalNCDV]

Not exactly an extra level, just a bug.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Not a bug - it's a feature! LOL

[@superviewer]

A bug IS a feature 😅

[@brutusmuerto]

Kiitos! 😺

[@valalex2223]

A good computer and a game, it's bad that there are no sounds

[@sovietonion72]

You could turn the music off and just have sounds of shooting.

[@satan3959]

Most C64 games either had sound or music, not a lot that had both back then. A lot of modern homebrew games do, but back then if you used all three channels for music, then it was practically impossible to use sound effects as well. Commando was the same way, as were the C64 versions of Ghosts n Goblins and Green Beret

[@allsystemsdownagain9553]

Like most blokes. C64 Couldn't multi task!!

[@n00blamer]

02:34 ahahahah ahahahaha busted

[@finnishretroguy9952]

yes. we called this programming bug with the name "turbo chopper"-feature. Would be so funny seeing something like that in the movie...

[@n00blamer]

@@finnishretroguy9952 wiggle joystick up and press return .. vanhat sedät tietää nää kikat xD

[@finnishretroguy9952]

Also it seems possible to get Rambo to run with super speed, but so far I could never reproduce this effect in a controlled way. This is also somehow related to return + something else I have done. The run so far has stopped in the nearest tree, but could be useful "feature" in some places, if I just knew how to launch this effect when needed...

[@mcuz33]

great music but this game sucked because it was way too hard

[@chazzw5388]

I prefer the Sega master system version over this trashed version any day!
