Play Army Men Online

Summary

Playing Army Men on the Game Boy Color feels like a compact version of the original PC hit, stripped down for a handheld screen but still packed with the series’ signature plastic‑troop charm. You step into the boots of Sarge, the green soldier, and battle the tan army across two distinct campaigns—Desert and Arctic—each broken into three maps with four to five missions, totaling 27 bite‑sized skirmishes. While the maps echo the larger game’s layouts, every objective is freshly designed for the portable format, giving each level a unique twist.

A handy boot‑camp mode walks you through the controls, making the real‑time tactics easy to pick up on the go. Critics praised the GBC version for its solid gameplay and clever graphics, noting it as a standout handheld strategy experience compared to its mixed‑reception PC counterpart.

Storyline

In Army Men for the Game Boy Color, you play as a Green Army soldier named Sarge. At the start he receives a recon mission on the front line, tasked with locating important documents. The mission takes him through three distinct regions – a Desert, an Alpine area, and a Bayou. After gathering the intel, Sarge discovers a strange portal that opens onto the Real World. The portal hints at a new dimension and sets the stage for the next game in the series.
