This game was made by a solo dev from I think Denmark (judging by his geo tag on their Steam Profile). Their name is Thorium Game Lab and I think they may be a little crazy.
This video does not do the scale of the map justice. We're talking Arma levels of huge. It's full of mechanics and are just wild.
What a weird game, I love it.
Currently it's only on Steam....I think...it's where I got it at least:
store.steampowered.com/app/1837480/Vietnam_War
Buyer beware: it is mad jank so if you are used to polish and/or only want polish.....maybe wait.

A horribly reviewed game that I somewhat enjoyed.

Some things I left out of the video (I try to keep these videos short):
The game features a database that goes pretty in-depth. Judging by it and the trailer I found, eventually you get more weapons to use. I think the probe has more uses later on as the manual talks about utilizing an arm. Also the thing can lay mines but Im not entirely sure when that would be useful.
Here is a slew of links. You can follow in my footsteps in terms of research:

Before making this video I had looked up the game out of curiosity. At the time I had no intention of doing a video. It wasnt till I saw that there were no gameplay videos that I decided to cover it. Here are the two videos I found:
Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuZS94K_0HE
Intro in German...yeah....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5niteic70ek
Also getting a thumbnail of this game was impossible since every piece of it is so reflective....did the best I could do. If you didnt know, the thumbnails are taken with a Polaroid OneStep from 1986.
I think thats everything...cant believe you read all that. While you are here check out our other pages

This game isnt commercially available anymore. I played it off the CD-ROM on a Windows XP desktop. Not sure if it works well in Windows 10 or not.
