comments: NAM 1975 is probably one of the most challenging
and unique shooting games on the Neo Geo. You must blast through several
levels of Vietnam inspired carnage, taking down enemy soldiers and helping
out defenseless hostages. Graphics: Graphically, NAM depicts war perfectly.
The levels are dark and eerie, with much attention to detail and color.
You and the game enemies look incredible because of super-smooth animation
and mind blowing detail that very few games even today seem to have. The
game also has some of the best in-game cinematics you can find on the
Neo Geo. They're interesting to watch and also help the game's plot to
unfold smoothly. Music: While the music and sounds aren't as strong as
the game's graphics, what is here suits the action well. The tunes are
catchy to listen to while blowing enemies away, but you won't be humming
anything to yourself like you would with the King of Fighters games or
Magician Lord. Sound effects are a mixed bag. They're good, but seem a
bit muted out and garbled while in the middle of the game. The main characters
speaking voice in the cinematics however is clear as a whistle and is
also awesome to listen to. Gameplay: The gameplay in NAM makes this a
classic Neo Geo title in every respect. You take control of your soldier
in a 3rd person point of view and move from left to right on a one layer
plane shooting at enemies by targeting them with a cursor. The d-pad moves
your soldier and cursor, but don't be alarmed, as difficult as this sounds,
the premise is very simple and easy to get into. You also aren't limited
to moving from left to right; in chaotic situations where bullets are
flying from all corners of the screen, you can tumble your way to safety
by either running or dropping and rolling. Only thing you can't do here
is jump, which would have added to the gameplay considerably. Overall:
NAM 1975 is a classic in every sense of the word. The game is both challenging
and addicting and because of the practically impossible end boss, you'll
be playing this game for many sunrises.

Nam 1975 is the kind of game you do not
want to play if you were in Vietnam between 1967-75.I mean the game is
so realistic you would think you were back looking for "Charlie" in the
bushes. So pack your bags soldier you are in for one ultimate shooter.

comments: Nam 1975 is one of the best Neo-Geo games
of all time. I, for one, took notice of the NeoGeoMVS system because of this
game. The graphics, sound, and gameplay were light-years ahead of its time. The
incredible amount of detail, ranging from the beautifully drawn background, to
the blood-curdling scream of an enemy soldier, was in a class of its own. Back
when BGM and sound effects were limited to blips and bleeps, Nam was cranking
out huge explosions ,digitized speech, and mood-setting musical tracks. Graphic-wise, Nam
was also top of its class. From bullet-ridden warplanes, smoothly-animated
enemy grunts, to the in-game cinemas, this game rules.
score: 10 / Out of Ten
