Anyone know how to get past the second screen in Rambo? I can break into the prison camp, get the POW, and get to the helicopter fine. Then I fly to the Helipad in the camp and pick up the box of grenades. I never see the other prisoners I am supposed to rescue. If you get back into the copter, the game ends. If you hang around and search the camp you eventually die (and find nothing). I've tried going North and South of the camp at this point, but I never find anything. Are there any more screens after this, or is it the end of the game? It doesn't seem like it cause I never find any more prisoners. Also, is it possible to get scores as high as the ones in the credits? There have to be more screens to get scores that high. Any hints will be greatly appreciated. -- "That's where you're wrong, wraith." - Captain America

In the lower left-hand corner of the POW camp (go left past the grenade box and past one hut...I believe), there is a big grey thing...looks like a wall. I haven't played the game in awhile, but I believe that there is a door shaped part of the wall (outline?). Run into that part with the knife in your hand. That should get them POWS out. I'll have to check the game tonite. If I was wrong about anything here, I'll repost.

You will see a bamboo cage. Touch the cage with your weapon on knife and the door will open and the POW's will run to the helicopter.

It may look like there is nothing up there but you will soon cross a river and then get ready. Very soon after you cross the river another helicopter will attack you from behind. They are very hard to shoot down, but keep at it. You will need to shoot down two of them. If you manage to do this (I always get shot down), I am told that if you keep flying north you will return to your home base. That's it! After you master or get bored of this scenerio another fun thing to do is to start playing the game like a real Rambo. (i.e. BLOW UP EVERYTHING). Begin the game as normal, using knives so that the camp will not be alerted. Head north till you come to the south wall of the camp. Go around to the EAST wall, and switch your weapon to the exploding arrows. About half-way along the east wall there is a place to cross into the camp but there is a wall there. Blow it up. Enter the camp and blow it up. Using the explosive arrows will blow up anything (buildings, trees, watch towers, etc.) If you actually survive this and the camp is blown to bits then head into the forest and blow it up. If you're still going by this time, you might as well continue with the assigned mission, or get another more challenging game.
