Sarge

About

Sarge is a 1985 top-down shooter where players command a tank and helicopter to wipe out waves of invading enemies. Each level tasks you with eliminating all hostiles before moving to the next objective. The DOS and arcade versions let you play solo or with a partner, adding a second set of vehicles to the battlefield. Fast-paced and straightforward, it leans into classic arcade tension with a focus on quick reflexes and strategic positioning. The two-player mode stands out as a rare co-op feature for its era, letting teams split control of ground and air units. Though short on depth by modern standards, its no-frills action and cooperative play made it a niche favorite among retro gaming circles. Sarge remains a relic of early 80s arcade design, prioritizing simple fun over complexity.
