Notes

[1] The German release is in English, but is censored and replaces the Nazi plot with a science fiction plot involving an alien invasion.

[2] The French release of the game, also in English and only published in France by Ubi Soft, is extremely hard to find and, thus, deserves a rarity rating of 4 stars.

[3] ROCKET RANGER was the winner of the 1988 "Arcade Adventure Of The Year" award in Commodore Computing International magazine (see HERE) [Source: Søren Grønbech's website].

[4] Distributed in Germany by Ariolasoft and in Italy by Leader.

[5] The Collectors Edition was limited to 500 boxed Editions.

[6] The CD includes various System Versions but is also bootable on Amiga CD32 and CDTV and started with a new Intro Video.

Rescue the professor as this slows down the nazis, they can’t use him to increase their efficiency. You will waste valuable time unless you rescue him from the zeppelin while he is over the atlantic shooting the gunner in the gondola is tricky, the best method being shoot below the gunner and move left and right until you are on target. Gradually move up until you hit the gondola. When you hit it there is a flash, stop firing and after a few seconds you’ll be inside the gondola.

Find the supply of lunarium before the fort knox supply runs out, so infiltrate the nazi base which recieves lunarium from the moon. It is in south america or africa, once infiltrated, your agent there will cary on sending you lunarium throughout the game. You will have to storm the nazi base first.
