Arocoun's RAMBO Map (V 1.01)

"Not until we are lost @\'NAM\
do we begin to understand ourselves." |#+*#|

---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.

---After the Ferry Crossing---

are easy and safe even with combat knife when you can rest at town

to the right for some medicine

approaches.
