    Thank you all for the support in my first video! I've decided to play Army Men 2 a bit earlier than expected. Army Men 2 is a close second to the original by a hair for me. This game is when 3DO started getting the ball rolling.

    A true classic. Like how you battle natural hazards such as roaches in addition to the Tan forces. They don't make them like this anymore. Pure fun.

    The blue are always so confusing, playing both sides of the war. One minute you're hunting down a blue spy for their info and the next, you're escorting their tank battalion

    Nostalgia? I remember playing with those Army Men LONG before they became a video game. 3DO did an awesome job tapping into childhood imaginations!

    I remember as a kid saving and getting every single green soldier and never loosing a single one because I'd keep them at spawn and solo everything. Their lives were too precious to risk and by the end of the game it felt like you had a true army behind you.

    This game pioneered 'Nasi Zombies' before Nasi Zombies. The Tan Nation gets taken over by their ulTanationalists also a icing in the cake.

    Played both of these games as a kid and also the Army men PS1 games. Sarges heroes was amazing too. The actual RTS game was dope as fuck.

    What an awesome set of games, I like the little grave yard near the porthole with zombie army men. I though when they say, when you see it you'll know it, I thought they meant the grave yard corner. The 90s was such fun. I like games from the late 70s all the way through to the early 00s.

      Agreed. I still have the CD for this game and a computer that can play it but I'm not sure if it would install correctly. I could try it out sometime.

    Just a side note for those who are interested:
    The Colonel, for some reason, is disabled in the Tank Store level. Some of you might have found it strange to be hearing The Colonel greet and talk to Sarge while coming off the train, but he is not anywhere to be seen. The code is commented out in the game files. When re-enabled, he will be present in the level/moves around the base if I recall correctly. It's nice to see. I'm not sure if you can find it on the internet, but I do have the edited file saved on my old computer that can play this game by disc.

    In a way this is a little late to the game (no pun intended), but the Vietnam tactical shooter "Rising Storm: Vietnam" does have a DLC where you can play as plastic army men in a house.
    I say a little late because that game doesn't have the player base it used to and since it is a paid DLC; not everyone plays it, but when they would have it for free every now and then; it reminded me of the later entries in this series.

    I gotta admit, I only played 1 or 2 once when some friends and I traded it for Tekken #__.
    I know some would say sacrilege, but we liked shooters & racing games more.
    We were so disappointed coming to whichever we traded after playing Army Men: Land, Sea, Air. It was the closest to Syphon Filter we could get at the time haha.

    I would love to see you play Army Men: Operation Meltdown. I can't find videos of this one anywhere! All I can find is the 3D PS1 release, but I had the PC top down 2D strategy game the same as Army Men 1 & 2. No idea why it's so hard to find?!

    It would be nice if these games were a little more controllable. A remaster of them maintaining everything but the graphics and controls (and maybe a better, less monotonous soundtrack) would be well-received. Although I know there's little market for it.

    Why there so many Bazooka man in level 4? Because you keep going back and forward where the radar is as they respawn, if you keep spawning much of them they will shoot and crash the game!
