Sgt. Saunders' Combat! is a Super Famicom war game based on a late 50's Television Series originally broadcast on the ABC Television Network.
The player can play either as Sgt. Saunders or as one of the Axis forces that fought in Europe and North Africa during World War II (Vichy France, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany). The object in the game is to defeat Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini so that the U.S. forces can concentrate on the Pacific Front against the Empire of Japan. The orders are in English, and are subtitled in Japanese, even though the game was never released in either North America or Europe. During the campaign mode, a player is given a squad of units to command. While other infantry units, tanks, and motorized units can be seen in the game, they cannot be controlled by the player.
Since this game is played by Japanese school children in primary school, there is no blood in the game. Shooting the enemy requires the victim to go through a bureaucracy of stages - dizzy, unconscious, wounded, then finally death. Gun shots cause death slowly while tanks and artillery can cause instant deaths.
