"Contemporary Military role playing games were in vogue back in the '80s. Perhaps the best known is Twilight: 2000, which was introduced in 1984. Delta Force, released in 1985 by Task Force Games, was a clear attempt to capitalize on the military trend in games. The developer -- William H. Keith, jr. -- would later go on to author many RPGs, and fiction as well. Fans of BattleTech, 2300AD, Twilight: 2000, and plenty others will recognize his name. Interestingly, the cover & interior art is also from William H. Keith, jr.
Subtitled "America Strikes Back!" Delta Force clearly plays off the preoccupation of the 80's: Terrorism and the Middle East. [Some things never change, eh?] The 3 books in the box, Rules of Play, Warbook, and Scenarios tell you exactly what you're getting. The rules are career and skill-based, and strike me as influenced by Classic Traveller and Twilight: 2000. Also contained in the boxed set is well-designed referee's screen." ...Wayne's World of Books

A Fun Military RPG,
This review is from: Delta Force RPG [BOX SET] (Game)
This game has fun scenarios to play. I enjoyed the stratagizing that had to be done to encounter and defeat the enemies. This RPG is easily played without using figures so that keeps the cost down, but if gamers prefer to use figures--who doesn't have some GI Joes laying around? Also, there is a weapons book that has good descriptions of most of the weapons that were being used in the mid-80's. People who like RPG's and playing army will enjoy this game.
