Nam is a 3D-action game that sets you in the middle of the Vietnam War. Your war machine arsenal consists of the M60 machine gun, M79 grenade launcher, M16 rifles, flame-throwers, C4 plastic explosives, a sniper rifle, and more.

You play a roughneck marine in the middle of the war with the (minute) aid of medics, soldiers, and radiomen. The radios that you will find throughout the jungles and city levels will be most useful as they are used to call for air strikes! This was an exceptionally clever aspect of the game that adds to the realism and overall effect of the game.

The sound effects are to be considered awesome and seem to place you in the middle of the Academy Award winning film Platoon. (Best Picture, 1986)

The graphics and controls are exactly the same as Duke Nukem because Nam uses the Duke Nukem 3D engine.

There are 34 single and multi-player levels and the finale of the last campaign is an extraction of soldiers from the besieged city of Saigon at the very end of the war.

Overall, I recommend this game to all 3D gamers who are looking for something interesting, action-packed, and different.
