'Rocket Ranger Reloaded' Kickstarter Successful, Funding Continues

Rocket Ranger Reloaded will return in a fresh new take on the classic videogame originally released in 1988, featuring new gameplay sequences, a deeper storyline, a larger strategic element and stylized graphics that bring the 1930s and 40s to life!

Rocket Ranger was first released by Cinemaware on the Commodore Amiga, with later versions appearing on the C64, PC, Apple IIgs, Nintendo Entertainment System, Atari ST and even the obscure Fujitsu FM Towns! To commemorate the return of Rocket Ranger, the original Amiga and PC-DOS versions are also now available on GOG!

The original game took its inspiration from 1930s sci-fi TV serials and comic books, setting the player in a world where the Nazis and Axis Powers won World War II – in the future! Using a rocket pack and futuristic technology, Rocket Ranger must travel the world and rid it of the escalating threat, complete with a strategic aspect and lots of exciting action sequences. As he pursues the Nazis in order to prevent their ultimate victory, Rocket Ranger will discover the source of their mysterious super weapons and the terrible future that awaits mankind!

Through shootouts, fist fights, dialogue with various characters, espionage and lab research, the player must pursue the goal of finding various weapons and technologies and finally build a rocket to reach the moon in order to defeat the Nazis once and for all – or at least for the time being! Rocket Ranger Reloaded will refresh the original game with a lot of exciting new twists & turns, gameplay elements and high replayability value that will make this one of the most exciting and innovative Cinemaware games to come!

Rocket Ranger Reloaded has successfully funded beyond its $90k target goal, and although the Kickstarter campaign has ended, actual funding will be ongoing via PayPal pledges as Cinemaware seeks to reach stretch goals and develop lots more content for the game!

Cinemaware has also decided to include both iOS and Android versions as part of the main game release! Now, anyone who pledges for Rocket Ranger Reloaded can choose between PC, Mac, Android or iOS versions of the game upon its release!
