NAM is a classic first‑person shooter originally released in 1998 for DOS and later made compatible with Windows systems. In this action‑packed war game you take on the role of Alan “The Bear” Westmoreland, a tough United States Marine Corps sergeant thrust into the brutal jungles of the Vietnam War. Players must fight through a mix of intense firefights, ambushes, booby traps, snipers, and air strikes as they push deeper into enemy territory.
The game uses the Build engine, giving it a gameplay feel similar to titles like Duke Nukem 3D but set in a gritty historical context. There’s both single‑player action and multiplayer modes — including deathmatch and objective‑based team play — that support up to eight players. The environments range from dense jungles and rice paddies to claustrophobic tunnel networks, all designed to evoke the tense atmosphere of 1960s combat.
NAM captures the raw intensity and paranoia of guerilla warfare, offering fans of retro shooters a nostalgic dive into Vietnam‑era FPS gaming, though modern players may find its mechanics dated compared with contemporary shooters.
