Rocket Ranger
One of my favourite gaming experiences all time was 'Rocket Ranger' on the Commodore Amiga format. I don't know what it was, the hokey story line, the cool music, the cinematic combat sequences, the idea of running and taking off into the sky to save the world from Nazis who were backed by bikini-clad evil amazon women of the moon... These things never quite leave you. As it is my sister has an Amiga emulator for her PC and occasionally runs this game for her own amusement.
So I am happy to report that the notion of a rocketpack-harnessing person lives on today.
It won't get us to space, It won't even get us to work, but boy is it somehow romantic to rocketpack around the place!
