This fresh new take on the classic Rocket Ranger will feature new gameplay sequence, more detailed story and tons of strategic modern game elements unseen in previous version. All this will be coated with 1930s inspired stylized graphics and retro design.

The Player will have to shoot, engage enemies in fisticuffs, spy hard, engage in dialogue and do lab research to achieve his goal. With a sufficient amount of crazy weapons,  retro tech and finally a working rocket Rocket Ranger will travel to the hidden Nazi moonbase and put a wrench in their evil plans.

Cinemaware promises a lot of exciting twists and turns, fun gameplay and a high replayability value.

In honor of Rocket Ranger’s return, the original Amiga and PC-DOS version will be available on GOG client service. Windows PC, Apple MacOS, Apple iOS, Android and several console platforms are the target for Rocket Ranger’s return.
