I'm trying to find a game that I used to play on a friends computer back in the 486 era.

If memory serves me correctly, I know it was a military themed game. I want to say it was a side scroller, but I'm not sure. I do remember for sure it having a boat section, and it was hard because you only had 3 RPGs. I think it was Vietnam based. I wish I could give more information, but it was 20 years ago, and i only played it like 3 times for a total of an hour.

God that is close... but after some video footage I'm pretty sure the game I'm looking for is a side scroller.

Hmmm.....side scroller....

Is that a :

1.) Side scroller beat-em-up?

2.) Side scroller shooter -3rd person perspective? (eg. Midnight Resistance)

3.) Side scroller shooter - 1st person perspective? (eg. Operation Wolf)

4.) Side scroller shooter with platform?
