    Did anyone ever play this series of games on the PC? Freakin' awesome!

    I'll get a few more screens up later, they seem to be hard to come by. Army Men II was especially awesome, I remember the opening level. Started off in the kitchen facing off against the Tan Army. Had to get across the cooker and avoid the cockroaches. One of the first games I had growing up on the PC. :D

    They were awesome man! And yeah, a magnifying glass was one weapon you could use. In the later games you could also use the likes of fly swatters and paint cans!

    The later on games that adopted 3rd person shooter type gameplay were utter tripe but the first few games that had the top down perspective that played like an RTS were amazing. Screenshot in the first post is what I'm talking about, that was from Army Men: Toys in Space.
