Secret Command, known in Japan as Ashura (阿修羅), is a Sega Master System top-down run-and-gun game developed by Sega R&D 2 and published by Sega.

The game was released in the United States as Rambo: First Blood Part II.

History

Sequels and re-releases

Secret Command was released several times under different names. In Japan, it is known as Ashura (阿修羅) (アシュラ). Its initial North American version was tied with the Rambo movie franchise and named Rambo: First Blood Part II (with only minor graphics and music changes occurring between releases). In Europe and later American re-releases of the game, it is known as Secret Command, however the title screen reads Secret Commando.

Secret Command was re-released as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service, and has appeared in numerous compilations.
