Army men would have the the perfect franchise for a (good) RTS or RTT. Why did they keep trying to do crappy third-person shooters?

The air combat game was fun

Sarges Heroes 1&2 are great

They're hidden gems and they will be reassessed as such by normies within the next 5 - 10 years

They shouldve done more sarges war style games. Turn that shit into call of duty.

>hidden gems
I was always under the impression that they were the complete opposite— like, gigantic, unignorable turds. They made a thousand of these and not a single one was ever met with anything besides hostile reviews across the board. Always made me wonder how it was that a new one was getting pumped out on a yearly basis.

I found the demo of pic related to be oddly enjoyable, though.

They probably sold well to strict parents who didn't want to buy video games where you shoot realistic people

Sarges Heroes 1 and 2 on the N64 were GOATED.

Play them, anon. They're extremely challenging and unforgiving, but fun as fuck when you get into the rhythm. I guarantee at least 95% of the normies trashing the games have never even played them for more than 5 minutes.

video games used to cost nothing to make, especially budget titles like the Army Men games. they could sell a hundred copies and turn a profit.
the first 2-3 games were passable rental fodder, and the devs coasted on that for the rest of the series' existence. reusing assets to save money.

Damn I ain't thought of this in forever. I remember playing Sarge's Heroes multiplayer as a kid with neighborhood friends, a bit of the singleplayer too. I mostly remember Green Rogue on the PS2. Fun game. It was my first exposure to the saying
>Out of the frying pan and into the fire
since two levels, one after the other were named as much. Good times.

What's the deal with that weird AM's popularity in the US?

loved Sarge's Heroes,
loved Air Assault,
loved the isometric 3DO pc game from like 1995
