Rocket Ranger

Rocket Ranger is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Cinemaware Corporation and published by Cinemaware Corporation originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on DOS.

In the 1940s, the Nazis build a base on the Moon and plan to use a mysterious substance called Lunarium to reduce people's intelligence. However, in the 21st century, time travel has been mastered, as well as jetpacks, catastrophic weaponry and advanced code-breaking equipment. These items are sent back in time for you to change the outcome of the war by using this technology to find their five rocket factories and destroy the moon base.

The game follows the Cinemaware template, with a series of action sequences linked by cinematic animation sequences to set the mood of the game. There is also a strategic element, as the player moves his spies around to get information and avoid detection, and decides how much Lunarium to use at each stage of the game. Action sequences include hand-to-hand combat with a Nazi guard, and flying through the air shooting at hordes of enemy planes or the Zeppelin itself.

An 'Expanded Collector's Edition' of the game was released in 2018. This is a limited edition of 500 units containing the game in multiple languages and for multiple platforms, and contains as bonus posters, stickers, postcards and the soundtrack on vinyl.

Rocket Ranger is available at a reduced price on the following websites and is no longer abandonware.
