RAMBO II (C64 - FULL GAME + FULL SOUNDTRACK)

Zeus presents Rambo - First Blood Part II (un-emulated) for the C64, a true classic from the golden era of C64 gaming which must not be forgotten alongside the software house and all programmers that were involved in making this game.
Year of release: 1986
COR BLIMEY! What a thumping soundtrack this game has not including the awesome loader music.
Some time ago I uploaded the music of this game but now it's about time I uploaded the full game in UNemulated style :-)
This game is hard as nails, well I think it is anyway, the enemy attack you from all sides with venom to the point you'll find yourself spending most of the game concentrating running away rather than the mission it'self which is to bust through the concentration camp gates, collect the hostages then pile into the chopper with the hostages and fly to the landing bay,...far from easy.
This game will always be remembered as a classic just for the music alone, wonderful C64 times!
Thanks to my buddy "Kamilz" for creating the infinite energy poke so I could upload the entire game for your viewing pleasure.
I hope all you C64 fans enjoy this upload enough to click the sub button :-)
Please note: NONE of my game uploads are emulated in any way whatsoever, they are 100% original recordings by myself taken directly from the original hardware the game was intended for, that way you know you're watching the real thing.
I will also always state weather i am using any cheats in the game, if not mentioned then i am not using any.

Keeping the memory of the C64 and it's cool games alive!!!

such fond memories, one of my favourite games on C64. 3:39 music still gives me goosebumps to this day all these years on. God I wish I could go back to my childhood and relive these memories with my father :(

[@Mc_Nizzle]

best soundtrack ever! 78er too 💪

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

I remember loading this game up for the first time with my friend Jeff. We had just bought the disc and were about to start the game when the title screen / loader music just made our jaws drop. Then, as you say, it gets even better when the high scores start scrolling up. Chills indeed! Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish are 3 of the best ever.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

Yeah, that menu music really sticks with you. Even after three and a half decades I still get flashbacks to sitting in a chilly flat in New Farm back in 1989.

[@jasonbourneistreadstone]

@@CopiousDoinksLLC I thought the same thing when I heard it. The soundtrack for this game is incredible.

[@xitec75]

You can get an emulator for c64 and play the game on your pc again. Long live Commore. The best machines of all times, C64 and Amiga. For the positive memories, Commodore was fun.

[@gameboardgames]

A timelessly amazing soundtrack, thanks so much for this. I don't know if it is just pure nostalgia, but there was just something magical about the C64's SID music chip and the early digital synth sounds produced by it, that could not really be improved by increasing the fidelity. And then when you consider this entire soundtrack was what, something 4kb? Way less than an empty MS word doc, for example. It's like... there used to be 'game music' in the 8 bit, 16 bit era, and now games just use standard 'music' (not really particular to gaming, not like the old stuff was, as a separate genre). For example the amazing Civ IV soundtrack that won a Grammy, it wasn't really 'game music', it was amazing regular full orchestra and vocalist music, that was used in a game. Not the same thing.

[@elektrochava]

Hear hear. The 8bit era was unique in that sense

[@PadreAbraham28]

Memories, memories, memories, what a great game this is. I loved the game as much as i love the Rambo movies.

[@ThomaniacsRetrogamingZone]

Really liked playing this one back in the days and the soundtrack is simply awesome!

[@limegreensquid]

No wonder i grew up to be a music snob, raised on this soundtrack by 6yo... I played this game all the time!! I didn't know what i was doing, but i was having fun!

[@MrDaddynomates]

Oh the nostalgia.

[@machachaist]

Miss those days so so much :(

[@aleksazunjic9672]

One of the first games where you could destroy environment, not just enemies. Once you got those explosive arrows you were practically OP.

[@ElAurian]

Ohhh, memories....memories....I was a little kid....7 or 8....when I watched my brothers playing this. Now they have kids on their own...and they're playing something totally different...they will never get to know how I felt in those days...it was a new world I entered back then... This music is so awesome...burned in my mind forever...

[@ZEUSDAZ]

One of the greatest C64 game soundtracks imo.

[@skynetsworld]

The music was awesome. I miss the time i played those games. 😢😪😭

[@2010dame]

Awesome.... Enough said

[@psykickomusic]

memories, great music and game :)

[@lordwilksy]

3:39 was the best c64 music moment

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yep amazing tune.

[@Star45ja]

@@ZEUSDAZ I would include this has my TOP 5 for C64 (not in order): Commando, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKraken, and The Last Ninja.

[@GuitarAnthony]

Fun Commando clone, great SID soundtrack, always laughed at the machine gun knives.

[@fredericdm]

Hi, good action game, i love the music. thanks

[@ThMindFdr]

Fk , this just made me tear up, HOLY BALLZ ,this blew me away from nostalgia!!!

[@skywalkerranch]

Awesome, then awesome now.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yep, gotta love that music!

[@retroc6450]

I just loved all the music in this game, so cool.....

[@matro951]

The Rambo for nes was hard AF

[@garlicgorilla6540]

Awesome. ❤️❤️❤️

[@acidphaze]

Good upload. You initially were ment to use the knife or normal arrows in the first part so you didn't startle the enemy, but we all went in full guns blazing and blew everything up, lol! It would have been good if you could go to the other areas on foot, as you can't get across the river. I remember there was a bug in the game when in the helicopter, where you could go to the village across the river.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Be sure to check out my "Let's Longplay" video of it with full commentary 👍

[@Bestsoccer1970]

Quanti ricordi! 😀

[@monsgundersen9269]

goosebumps

[@gibson_pbacademy]

Just viewed your video mate, really love the content. Subbed straight away, We should connect!

[@rjm7921]

Loved playing this when I was a kid but was always shit at it music is fucking awesome

[@monsgundersen9269]

thx

[@stephenwall5159]

I remember as a kid there was a poke which gave you a music playback mode where each key on the C64 mapped to a sound effect or tune from the game. It was awesome and I would make my own mix by hitting various keys hehe. Does anyone remember the poke or cheat to activate this mode? I think I got the poke from the back of Zzap 64 magazine. It's really bugging me but I do remember that music mode fondly. Thanks.

[@thediamonddrillingguy6716]

I remember this.. you could make your own rhythm with the drum sounds.. and you are right about this info coming from Zzap64 magazine.. Martin Galway was so cool..

[@gattifero]

8:15

[@zgolkar]

That was a weird playthrough... like touring the whole area rather than going directly to the next step :D. I did not know that you could land without killing the helicopter! -I always shot it down first.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

It's not a proper playthrough, I ran all the way round just so the music could be heard in full, check my UNcheated speedrun video of 2.59m

[@cpc6364]

Nice. But would love to see a playthrough with NO Trainer. I did it without one back when it came out and it was stupid hard.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

It's on my channel, a let's Longplay with commentary and a Speedrun of under 3mins, both untrained, search for them.

[@melthebell33]

Wow it scrolls in all directions, its like the first open world game lol

[@user-wq6kw7sz5b]

Rambo the video game pass

[@MaximumEfficiency]

why destroy the bridge?

[@AchtungBaby77]

Interesting - I didn't even know there was a bridge when I played this as a kid!

[@ruutujatka1899]

ensin rambopuukko mutta että sinkoki

[@ElGreco365]

Why is he not dead.. He got hit many times!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

🙄 Read description.

[@PanTheGoatMan]

Looks like they’re using a cheat. The energy level never goes down. I played this back in the day and ended it. It was quite difficult. And something don’t look right about this game play

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Its on cheat mode so the music can be listened to, why don't you watch my 2m59s game completion run of it? Type "zeusdaz rambo c64"

[@JustJamie1983]

Hey there fella. Check my Rambo video out I just uploaded. Let us know what you think. Cheers

[@elektrochava]

C64 would have been ignored without the SID chip
