Before Call of Duty, we had this. 🪖🕹️
MicroProse didn't just release a game in 1987; they released a full military simulation on 64KB of RAM.
I’m unboxing Airborne Ranger—complete with the legendary Keyboard Overlay. If you lost that strip of paper, you were flying blind! From the permadeath roster to the stress of the supply pods, this game was intense.
The Question: Did you try to be a stealthy silent assassin, or did you just go full Rambo and hope for the best? Let me know below! 👇

👇 ABOUT FLOPPY DEEP DIVE 👇
Hey, it's Tom from Texas! Floppy Deep Dive is dedicated to Real Hardware and Real Nostalgia. No emulators. No filters. Just the crackle of the CRT and the mechanical grind of the disk drive.
I make these videos for the folks who spent Saturdays swapping floppies and still get chills when the SID chip kicks in. We dive deep into the Golden Age of PC gaming, reignite the classic 8-bit wars (C64 vs Atari!), and hunt down the rarest software on earth. Whether you're Team Commodore, Team Atari, or just miss the 90s, you're in the right place.
The Mission: Preserving the sights, sounds, and "craptacular" quirks of classic computing before they fade away.
🕹️ What You'll Find Here:
The Hardware: Commodore 64, Atari 800XL, Amiga, 486 PCs, and more.
The Wars: C64 vs Atari/NES comparisons (Let the debate begin!).
The Hunt: Deep dives into mysterious floppies and forgotten games.
