Army Men - Air Combat (USA, Europe) (GBC)

Army Men - Air Combat for the Game Boy Color plunges players into thrilling aerial battles set within the familiar toy world of the Army Men series. You assume the role of a brave Green Army Man pilot, commanding various aircraft and helicopters to combat the nefarious Tan Army forces.

Gameplay primarily revolves around completing diverse aerial combat missions. Each mission typically requires players to navigate their aircraft through miniature yet obstacle-filled environments such as backyards, sandboxes, or gardens. Objectives can range from destroying enemy ground units like tanks and turrets to engaging hostile aircraft in dogfights. Occasionally, you'll also undertake escort missions, search and rescue operations, or item collection tasks.

Players can utilize a variety of weapons, from standard machine guns to missiles and bombs, collecting weapon upgrades or repairing their aircraft mid-flight. The 2D top-down or isometric perspective graphics provide a comprehensive view of the battlefield while maintaining the distinct charm of the plastic soldier world. Controls are straightforward and accessible, yet still demand skill to evade enemy fire and complete missions effectively.
