Sgt. Saunders' Combat!

Sgt. Saunders' Combat! is a turn-based strategy video game based on the 1960s television series originally broadcast on the ABC Television Network. It was released for the Super Famicom exclusively in Japan. 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 . MIDI-quality sound faithfully captures the theme music of the original television program. In addition, the montage of the series cast added a sense of austerity and seriousness into the game itself. The graphics and animations are, surprisingly, neither... cute, super deformed, or in the anime style - depicting a "live action war" with "live action characters." Although most of the characters in Sgt. Saunder's Combat! are fictitious, there are four commanding officers in the game that actually existed and served in World War II. 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.
