---Intro---

I was playing this game for the first time in years.  No longer a little 
kid, I realized something important for the first time.  You need a map to 
beat Rambo--it's simply a part of the game.  Having a good map (mental or 
physical) is half the game!  That, or you can wonder around aimlessly, 
losing health and ammo all the while.  Anyways, I made a simple map for 
myself.

When it was done, I decided to make it a little nicer, and share it with 
everyone else!

I've also included some simple tips at the top of a few sections.

So, this map is free for anyone to read, distribute/share (please give 
credit where credit's due), or improve upon.

  to the right for some medicine

---Rambo's Escape!---

--You play as Co for a while at start
--In area 3, there are easy-to-hit falling spikes worth 50 exp each
--Boss at area A is easy to beat with simple combat knife.  Just cut boxes 
  in front of you like so:

  RS
  R#
  ##

  ...with intact boxes shown as #, stand at R, and stab at S as boss 
  approaches.

0--Rambo starts here
1--Motor Cycle boss (heart)
2--Town, rest
3--Cave, fire cat boss (heart)
4--Co killed if you talk to her; don't talk to her if you want her to live
5--Boss (heart); door leads to 6 first; after you go to B or fall into 7, 
   door will lead to 7
8--Door leads to area 9, the building where key is
A--Key, Boss (heart)
B--Helicopter (need key first)
