About Lost Patrol

✦ AI summary

Lead your crash-landed platoon through hostile jungles while managing morale, resources, and a traitor in your ranks in this genre-blending 1990 tactical action game. Lost Patrol uniquely fuses strategy map navigation with arcade shooting sequences and hand-to-hand combat, delivering a challenging variety of gameplay that tests your entire skill set.

Our chopper tailed-out after taking a hit... the pilot won’t be leaving the ground again. Now I have to lead my weary platoon back to our lines through the jungles and paddy fields. Entering what appears to be a friendly village - only to find it is a cover for a guerrilla faction - is just one of the things that helps our insomnia... that and the elusive psycho in my squad – I gotta figure out who he is before the morale factor becomes our worst enemy. Jeez, will this stupid war never end?!

Back in the day when most games fell firmly into one camp such as shoot ‘em up, adventure, arcade action or map-based strategy, Lost Patrol was unusual in that it fused together elements of all these genres and more. With a combination of styles that tested a player’s entire gamut of skills, this 1990 release picked up fans on the popular platforms of the day – the Amiga, Atari ST and (for the relatively few PC gamers at the time) MS-DOS. Appearing in many ‘top 100’ lists, Lost Patrol is fondly remembered by those that played it, and is now available officially on Steam for the first time, courtesy of Pixel Games UK.

The general action takes place on a military map, through which you are tasked with navigating a squad of men whose helicopter has crash-landed after an attack by the pesky guerrilla fighters. At certain points however the game field will switch view, requiring your arcade shooting skills, some hand-to-hand combat or other such surprises. Praised in its day for the quality of these additional graphic scenes, you’ll quickly realise why Lost Patrol is considered a retro classic!

As a kid, I used to play this game on the Commodore Amiga when it first came out....it was frustratingly hard, but had a good story and was really atmospheric (including the music). When I saw it on Steam, I was really excited and looked forward to trying out an 'old classic' again. Unfortunately, the game has no sound and the controls (after figuring them out) can only be described as horrendous, at best. No mouse, no instruction, no music, and I'm sure a couple of the features don't work. Such a shame - not a good version of the game. Hopefully an update will be provided at some point, but until that happens save yourself the money - don't bother with it. :-(

Considering that I have something of an admiration for the games of old, particularly those in the DOS era where I wasn't old enough to really experience gaming as a whole until around the fifth generation of gaming, I was naturally attracted to such a title as Lost Patrol here, whereby it's premise is fairly unique in a war setting that isn't akin to your typical Call of Duty style of gameplay, which only added to my intrigue of finally getting to explore this old game now that it was offered on Steam here. An absolute shame then that the port of this game, being based on the original AMIGA version from way back in 1991, is a rather poor translation of what should be a good return to form that is at least serviceable on more modern platforms. Getting down into the nitty and gritty here though, Lost Patrol focuses on a team of seven American soldiers, one who is a Sergeant going by the name of Weaver and six other members who are all Private class, as the goal is to ensure the safety of each member of the team as you make your way across the hazardous and dangerous terrain of 1960's Vietnam which, in this time period, takes place during the Vietnam War when the Viet Cong was acti…

Lost Patrol is an awesome game, but unfortunately the DOS version is pretty dreadful. The Amiga version is a real good time, so I advise players try that out instead. If Pixel Games UK could get that version and add it to another branch, that would be amazing.
