NES Works #079: Rambo
🕑 Added 2021-01-20 14:00:03 +0000 UTCYou want to know something wild? In the NES chronology (as mapped out by me, which is to say "known American release dates by month, further sub-organized by precise Japanese launch days"), Rambo and Metal Gear appear right next to one another. As this video covers, those games have a lot more in common than just adjacent ship dates, though. They share a decidedly incestuous background, too...
Anyway, this is a lengthy apologia for a greatly misunderstood game, so if that's not your thing, I apologize.

The Taliban was absolutely 100% established by members of the real-world equivalent of the anti-Soviet Mujahideen forces Rambo helped in that movie.

Rambo III doesn't show Rambo helping the Taliban, but rather the Mujahedeen. They are different groups and usually opposed.

Hold up - when did Clubber Lang fight Apollo Creed? Is there some Rocky 2.5 or 3.5 I'm not aware of? I'm assuming you mean Drago v Creed in Rocky 4 but that footage at the end makes it appear they fight.
