Overview
You control Sarge, a green Army Men commando, as he battles General Plastro and the Tan Army across a series of missions. The game blends campaign objectives with a multi-player melee mode for up to four players on one console. Its cartoonish plastic-toy aesthetic and third-person camera distinguish it from the franchise's later entries.

Why it matters
It is the first appearance of the Army Men series on Nintendo 64, giving collectors a third-person shooter with a distinct toy-soldier visual style. The cartridge represents an early example of the series being adapted across multiple platforms in the late 1990s.
