Back to the nightmare
As one of the earliest Neo Geo releases, NAM-1975 occupies a rather unusual place in the console's library. It's relatively well-known because it was the first glimpse many of us saw of the raw power contained within SNK's arcade (and home) hardware, but like so many launch titles it hasn't aged all that gracefully in the...
War is heaven
Although NAM-1975 was an early Neo Geo release, it's certainly not short on fun. Released in 1990, it took a simple shooting approach and built an interesting war theme around it. Simple mechanics and a level of playability that wasn't too common in the genre made for an amazing gameplay experience. Now SNK Playmore is bringing back...
About The Game
Classic action in the early days of NEOGEO! Run through the hell's battlefield!
"NAM-1975" is an action game released by SNK in 1990. It was one of the first ever games released on NEOGEO!
Players will take on the role of U.S. Special Forces soldiers braving a harsh battlefield as they try to survive a series of deadly firefights.
Players will need to use collectible power-ups and other abilities such as their evasive roll to complete their mission!
The "ACA NEOGEO" series has faithfully reproduced many classic NEOGEO masterpieces.
Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores.
Please enjoy the masterpiece that built a generation for video games.

NAM!
I remember seeing this in Mean Machines Guide, one of the 1st Neo-Geo titles. I might get this if it comes to Europe because it's not a beat em up, and it wasn't on the SNK classics Wii disc.
Was playing this on my Neo just last weekend with my eldest. Still a brilliant game. Challenging, with nice graphics and fantastic speech. Can't believe I've had this gem nearly a quarter of a century and it's hardly dated at all.
We need more games in this genre. Cabal came out a year or so earlier and its sequel Blood Bros hit the arcades about the same time as Nam 75, if I recall. There was Taito's Rambo 3, also around 89-90, but I wasn't a fan of that one.Then came the good SNES game Wild Guns. And an arcade game 10 years ago called Gamshara by Mitchell (the Polarium on Nintendo DS, Pang and Puzz Loop developers) that looked very Nam-inspired, though I never got to play it. Sin and Punishment N64 and its stellar Wii sequel are both pretty similar too. Anyone able to think up other games in the genre? I'm running on fumes now.
Nope. Cant help ya
