Any other games like Nam 1975?

[J T]

Nam 1975 is one of my favorite Neo Geo games. This genre never really took off though. There was Cabal in the arcades and on the NES, and there was Wild Guns on SNES which both had behind the back shooting, but even those don't scroll like Nam. Is there anything else out there like this game?

NAM 1975 is a fun game indeed one of my favs on the Neo-Geo. It was also first game I got with my Neo-Geo AES system...

I have no idea bit it is I agree a must own neo title and well worth its low asking price (nice for a neo game for a change)

Nam 1975 was/is a great game.It is a shame that there wasn't many simliar games made.

Ikari Warriors is somewhat similar, but not as good.

If Ikari Warriors is similar, then you might want to try the Rambo games on the Master System, and Bloody Wolf on the TG16.

Dynamite Duke for the Genesis

Thanks for the recommendations, though I don't want Ikari Warriors style games. Those are a different genre, more like Gunsmoke or Commando.

Dynamite Duke was a great recommendation.

I thought of a few others as well:

Sin and Punishment on N64 is essentially this type of game.
Punisher for NES is another example.
Even Sega's Space Harrier series kind of fits the bill.

I also forgot, Crossed Swords for the Neo Geo was like Nam but instead of guns it was swords.

Gun.Smoke is a shmup. I Cant think of anything besides Nam 75/ Wild Guns/ Cabal that fits in that Genre...whatever that may be. Alien Storm on the Genesis has some stages that are kind of similar but not really.
