This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Rambo: First Blood Part II''''' (stylized on-screen as '''''Rambo''''') is an overhead [[run and gun video game]] loosely based on the 1985 film [[Rambo: First Blood Part II|of the same name]] that was published in [[North America]] by [[Sega]] for the [[Master System]] in 1986 and then re-released as a budget title in 1990. It was originally released in [[Japan]] as ((nihongo|'''''Ashura'''''|((ruby|阿修羅|アシュラ)))), where it was released without the [[Rambo (film series)|Rambo license]].

Another version was released in [[Europe]] and [[Australia]] titled '''''Secret Command''''' (stylized on-screen as '''''Secret Commando'''''), which also lacked the Rambo license. A [[Rambo (1985 video game)|separate game based on the same film]] had previously been released on the 8-bit computers.

== Gameplay ==
''Rambo'' is an overhead action shoot-'em-up in the vein of ''[[Commando (video game)|Commando]]'' and ''[[Ikari Warriors]]''. The first player controls Rambo, who is armed with an [[M60 machine gun|M-60]] machine gun with unlimited ammunition (which can only fire two shots on-screen) and a limited supply of explosive arrows used to take out tougher obstacles such as tanks and gates. A second player can play at the same time and control Rambo's partner Zane (a character created for the game), who wears a yellow headband. The objective of the game is to fight through the enemy's defenses, reach the gate at the end of each stage and then defeat as many enemy reinforcements as possible until the gate starts flashing in different colors. The player starts off the game with three lives and gains another one for completing each stage. A second player can join in anytime during the first stage as well until the second stage, in which the game will end for either player if one's lives run out.

Unlike the aforementioned games, the player can only shoot in five directions (left, up, right, or diagonally up-left or up-right), even though movement is allowed for all eight basic directions. When the player moves downward, the player character will have his weapon aimed upwards. However, enemies can shoot diagonally upwards. Power-ups are obtained by killing a specific number of enemy soldiers or as bonuses from the prisoners when they are freed from the huts located throughout the first four stages (which are only destroyable with arrows). Only one power-up can be on screen at a time, so if there is one dropped by an enemy at the time a prisoner should drop another, the prisoner will simply leave. These power-ups increase the range of shots, speed, the number of arrows and improve the firepower of the arrows hitting in four directions after the first explosion. There are also "?" marks, which can kill all enemies in the screen or add a life.

The player starts out each life with a supply of five explosive arrows, and gains two more with every item collected, no matter which item it is (although the in-game counter maxes out at "9", the player can actually carry more than that).

== Release ==
''Rambo: First Blood Part II'' was originally released in Japan as ''Ashura''. The Japanese version of the game had players controlling a pair of armed Buddhist monks named [[Asura (Buddhism)|Ashura]] and [[Vaisravana|Bishamon]], who are on a mission to rescue their kidnapped friends from the enemy.

When the game was being localized for the American market, Sega bought the license to base the game on ''Rambo: First Blood Part II''. The Player 1 character was redesigned to resemble Rambo, while Player 2 was replaced with a similar character who serves as Rambo's partner. The artwork on the title screen was replaced with a reproduction of [[Sylvester Stallone]]'s pose from the film's theatrical poster, while the original title theme was replaced by a [[Programmable Sound Generator|PSG]] rendition of [[Jerry Goldsmith]]'s theme music from the movie. Some adjustments were also made to the game's difficulty (flamethrower soldiers for example, who could only could be killed using arrows in ''Ashura'', are now vulnerable to regular gunshots in ''Rambo''). The visuals on the Stage Clear screen, which originally showed various Asian landscapes and buildings in ''Ashura'', were replaced with images of Rambo in various action poses.

The game was modified again for its release in [[PAL region|PAL territories]], as the Rambo license was only usable for its North American release. As a result, the PAL version, ''Secret Command'', combines elements from the previous two versions. The main characters are referred to as "Bishamon" and "Ashura" in the manual, but they still retain their designs from ''Rambo: First Blood Part II''. The title music is also the same one from ''Ashura'', but the artwork is different. The Stage Clear visuals are once again illustrations of Asian landscapes.

Both the Japanese (''Ashura'') and European (''Secret Command'') versions would later be released for the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]], in their original release regions. ''Secret Command'' was also released for the North American VC service as well, as an "Import" title.
