[edit] Trivia
NAM-1975 was one of the first games to be released for the Neo Geo. Also one of the first console games to feature full length voice overs. As the first game for the Neo Geo NAM clearly showed the power behind the console with excellent frame rate and audio quality.
The game draws from a variety of Vietnam war movies, such as Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now.
[edit] The Story
"The roar of the helicopters overhead snaps us back into reality. We will never forget the nightmare of that summer..." these were the phrases that started the story of Silver & Brown (the names used to describe the two available players). The story begins with the two soldiers entering to war to rescue Dr. R. Muckly, an ex-scientist of the American Army, who has been kidnapped by Northside Terrorists. Nancy Muckly, Dr. Muckly's daughter has also been kidnapped and is presumed imprisoned in the NAM interior.
