Army Men is a real-time tactics video game developed and published by The 3DO Company for Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Color. At the beginning of this game Sarge is tasked with a simple recon mission on the front line - locate some documents - that takes place in 3 regions: Desert, Alpine and Bayou. At the end of this game, Sarge finds a strange portal that leads to the next dimension - the Real World - and the next game. Regarded as a classic by fans, this is one of the few games to actually display Sarge and his squad as merely pawns in a bigger battle. Two features that make this game almost unique in the series are its storytelling (Black-White spoofs of old-time, World War II-style newsreels) and the fact that it often depicts a frontline or other fighting that doesn't involve the main characters.
