Play Army Men Sarge Online

Army Men Sarge's Heroes came out on the Nintendo 64 in 1999 from The 3DO Company. It was part of that wave of late 90s games that tried to make 3D action work on the console, putting you right into the middle of a plastic toy war. You weren't just looking down on a board; you were in the grass, with giant furniture and garden hoses looming overhead.

You control Sarge, a green plastic soldier, and your main job is to rescue your squad who have been captured by the evil Tan Army. The game is built on moving through levels screen by screen, clearing out tan soldiers and completing specific objectives like destroying a radio or finding a key. A couple of its signature mechanics are the ability to switch between a first person view for sniping and a third person view for general combat, and using a flamethrower to melt enemy soldiers into puddles of plastic. The pacing is pretty relentless, with enemies constantly swarming, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly in some of the later outdoor areas. It feels like being a tiny, vulnerable action hero in a world that is actively trying to squash you.
