What if World War II was actually won by the Axis?

Rocket Ranger, a 1930s Sci-Fi movie-inspired action-adventure game about World War II and its unlikely jetpack-wearing hero, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

Rocket Ranger takes us back to the war-shaken 1940s, as the Axis built 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 have jet-propulsion backpacks, plus some cataclysmic weaponry and advanced code-breaking equipment.Thus, you are sent some special equipment from the future to change the result of the war. Use this technology to find five rocket ship parts and destroy the moon base! Action sequences linked by cinematic animations set the scene for this Cinemaware classic. There's also a strategic element, as you move your spies around to gain information and avoid detection, and decide how much Lunarium to use at each stage of the game. Action sequences include hand-to-hand combat with an Axis guard, and flying through the air shooting either hordes of enemy planes or the Zeppelin itself.

Strap on a jet engine to your back and blast off for 16-bit Amiga glory in Rocket Ranger, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

Dalswyn: Ha ha, I guess that tomorrow morning Her Majesty will wake up in Paris while François Hollande will have to figure out Buckingham Palace's protocol. :D
Hollande will do fine if he remembers that if he finds a antique toilet he should not use it. Everyone in the whole building will hear him flush.

Did GOG just went ninja stealth with Amiga games?

I'm not sure what you mean. This is the 3rd Amiga game release on GOG. All of them are Cinemaware games, with Cinemaware handling all of the emulation work via a proprietary program.

Forgot all about this title. This is going into the insta-bought pile! Great release GOG/Cinemaware! :D

Soccorro: Is it worth the money?
I loved it when I played it on my C64 about 25 years ago (it had amazing graphics and music for it's time and a very cool story as well) and so I'm looking forward to play it again. I'm not sure if it is such a good game without the nostalgia though.

Late Friday releases are uncommon, that's all.

No way, the man's too hollow to do that. :)

@ yyhaoo: fixed! ;)

I didn't get that.

Oh and if you're wondering what I'm referring to the first water closet was used by the English queen. It wasn't a immediate hit though because the thing made so much noise when she flushed that she got embarrassed when the whole building heard when she used it. And the poor inventor hoping for some royal support got sad.

yyahoo: Edit: by the way, surprised that you preferred Rocket Ranger over It Came From The Desert. That generally seems to be a favorite of most Cinemaware fans.
My favourite was always King of Chicago!

Nope, only Cinemaware Amiga titles. They are the ones handling the emulation programming. GOG has not taken any steps towards emulating other platforms, although they did mention it as something that they have been pursuing in their Twitch QA recently...

President Hollande currently enjoys an all-time record low popularity. Many people think he's as bland as can be and is unable to take decisions or have any clear idea. In that view, he's so hollow that nothing comes out of him. Well, that was a poor attempt at humour, sorry.

Ah. Yeah I've heard that being said about him. :)
