Item Description

Just as the little green soldiers were marching across nearly every console of the era, they made their handheld debut on this Game Boy Color cartridge. Developed by Digital Eclipse and published by 3DO in 2000, Army Men adapts the original PC game into a top-down action game sized for the Game Boy screen, and there is more to it than its tiny cartridge suggests.

You play as Sarge, the Green army's toughest plastic hero, taking the fight to the Tan forces across 27 missions spread over two campaigns, one in the desert and one in the Arctic. Each campaign is split into three maps with four or five missions apiece, and while the maps loosely echo the PC original, every mission objective was rebuilt from scratch for the handheld, so even veterans of the computer version are walking into new assignments. A boot camp mode walks new recruits through the controls before they head into the field.

The pull of Army Men has always been the toy box fantasy: the bucket of plastic soldiers from your childhood brought to life, with the same green-versus-tan rivalry every backyard battle was built on. Digital Eclipse, a studio already known for its careful classic arcade collections, gave the handheld version a mission structure with real substance. As the first portable Army Men, this is where the series' long handheld run began, and a fun piece of 3DO's plastic-soldier empire for anyone collecting the line.

About the game

Army Men for Game Boy Color is the first handheld entry in the series. It is an adaptation of the first entry for PCs, with several of the original's levels being adapted for simpler gameplay. Players control green plastic soldier Sarge in combat against the tan army. The game consists of 27 missions spread out over 2 campaigns (Desert and Arctic, two out of the original game's three), each made up of three maps with four to five missions per map. While the maps are rough approximations of the original game's, all mission objectives are completely different. A boot camp mode that explains the controls is also available.
