"These two men were born to fight!" proclaims the title screen of Ikari III: The Rescue, and it's hard to argue with that premise as we follow Paul and Vince once again unto the breach. Sent to rescue "the Presidential candidate's child" from "an enemy terrorist party," Ikari III has the Rambo-like heroes fighting hand-to-hand through much of the game, combining Bad Dudes-like melee combat with the series' run-and-gun formula. It's clear a few years have passed, as the graphics, enemies and gameplay are notably more advanced than the series' earlier games, but it still features the team-up action and jungle setting the series is known for. Ikari III still uses a rotary joystick, but a version is available that combines movement and aiming, making it much easier to control.
