Army Men is a 1998 real-time tactics video game developed and published by The 3DO Company for Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Color.
Plot
The game centers around a Green Army soldier known as Sarge John Green. At the beginning of the game, Sarge is tasked with a recon mission on the front line - to locate some documents - which takes place in 3 regions: Desert, Alpine and Bayou. At the end of the game, Sarge finds a strange portal that leads to the next dimension - the Real World - and the next game.
Development Army Men was originally in development for the Panasonic M2, but that version was never released due to the system's cancellation. The game was showcased at E3 1997.
Reception
The Game Boy Color version received favorable reviews, while the PC version received mixed reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation called the latter version "a solid, fun example of the genre, and anyone looking for a new strategy game with a very nice graphic twist should seriously consider this."
