Summary

You are a member of the elite corps selected for your courage, ingenuity and special skills to go on the most dangerous missions. Parachute behind enemy lines armed only with a machine gun and hand grenades.

Airborne Ranger is a fast paced action simulation that challenges your strategic skills and reflexes. Control one soldier's battle against overwhelming odds. You can run, walk or crawl across full scrolling 3D terrain using trees, bushes and ravines to avoid the enemy or set up an ambush.

Whether rescuing hostages from a terrorist prison or infiltrating the headquarters of an enemy unit, every mission takes careful planning and pin-point execution. Drop caches of weapons and first aid supplies, out-manoeuvre the enemy, then locate the pick-up zone in order to reach safety. Airborne Ranger is an exciting combination of action, danger and suspense.
