On Nu Earth, the war-torn planet on the edge of the galaxy, only one  man walks without fear. Only one man dares breathe the deadly  chem-clouds that wreathe its killing fields. On Nu Earth, soldiers  know him as the Genetic Infantryman called Rogue Trooper.

Rogue is the only survivor of the GI regiment betrayed and slaughtered  at the horrifying Quartz Massacre. His buddies Gunnar, Helm and Bagman  remain, their personalites imprinted on microchips that are now parts  of Rogue's weapons system. — Cassette cover

Step into Rogue's boots in this action-packed arcade adventure. Track  down the traitor, destroy the enemy and restore your buddies to life!

Three computer game versions of Rogue Trooper have been made.

8-bit Computer Game 1986

An isometric shooter by Piranha Software for the Amstrad CPC,  Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.

The game consists of killing Norts whilst searching Nu-Earth for 8  vid-tapes containing evidence of the Traitor General's involvement in  the Quartz Zone Massacre, where all of the G.I.s barring Rogue were  slaughtered. On finding all 8 tapes, Rogue has to return to the Souther  base of Milli-Com to prove the General's treachery and the extenuating  circumstances of his going AWOL. During the game, as well as the  vid-tapes, players could also pick up medi-kits to regain health and  ammo boxes to feed Gunnar.

Several aspects of the comic were included in the game, such as Nort  pillboxes (visually based to some degree on hardened field defences used  by the British in World War II), a Quartz-like 'Glass Zone' and most  notably the personalities of the bio-chips, which would announce the  presence of enemy soldiers, give health and ammo status reports and  make sarcastic and derogatory remarks at the Norts and to Rogue himself.
