I was an avid fan of the Army Men games growing up. While I loved the Sarge's Heroes games, especially when my best friend would come over and we'd kill each other in split-screen, the PC games had the most replay value to me.
With my toy solider collection, over 2000 figures, and an avid lover of military history at a young age, I created all of these elaborate battles, drew battle plans, moved my figures around the field, even wrote battle diaries. I loved commanding toy soldier armies. And the PC Army Men games allowed me to do this in a virtual form. With Army Men Air Tactics, now, I could command the skies!
Oh these games were so clever. Dropping M80 grenades, dropping beacons to order your men around, shooting robotic houseflies with cannons on their back, escorting a pair of destoyers being hunted by subs, evading venus fly traps, and a Sarge's Heroes version of Sarge in the isometric RTS games, this game had almost everything!
I remember listening to the wonderful musical score composed by Barry Blum on the main menu over and over. I appreciated the character model of Sargeant Hawk compared to the rest of the soldiers. The last levels in the jungles and island chains were my favorite. Reminiscent of Army Men 2. The Volcano base! The final helicopter you got was bada**!! I remember being engaged with the story too, like rescuing the Green President, rescuing Sarge and his men in this huge living room battle under attach by tanks carried by balloons!
This is one of the games that inspired me to write my own mission outlines and features if I made my own Army Men game. I wrote down a level in the sewers where you escort naval vessels in a chopper. I felt like I worked for 3D0 itself!
I still have my physical copy, the big box, the original poster included, and the manual. I guess I could mount it to ISO, but I am not tech savvy and that would be a pain. Please GOG, make this happen! I hope you enjoyed my unscripted reaction to this.
I have so many memories from this game, sitting for days and even though i only had a demo if im not mistaken had so much fun. Would be a dream come true to play this again. Id really like to see these games return cant imagine how beautiful it would look in UE5
I was 12 when this game was released, and I recall playing every level ten times over. It was such a fresh take on a universe that already had several entries.
Army Men: Air Tactics is peak 90s/00s gaming, where every videogame was a testament to a developer's passion for their craft.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
