Rambo: First Blood Part II
... Well, there's nothing much to say about this game. If you've seen the movie, you'll know what to expect. And don't expect difficult puzzles-- Rambo isn't known as the smartest man on earth (or even smartest monkey, for that matter). Your job is to use your trusty machine gun to liberate POW's in Vietnam. That's really about it, although some puzzles do require more thought than Rambo is capable of (that's why he needs your help, I guess). The game does try to be atmospheric, but the effect is rather awkward -- after all, typing "SHOOT MAN" doesn't give you nearly as much Rambo-like adrenaline rush as actually blasting the enemies in action games. Probably a good example of the limits of interactive fiction. A good effort that's worth playing if you're curious, especially since the game is quite short. If you want a real Rambo experience, though, play shoot-em-ups instead.
