Arnie II

Arnie II, developed by Zeppelin Games in 1993, is a computer game and sequel to Arnie. It was written by David Sowerby with graphics by Neil Hislop. The music was created by Andrew Rodger. The game's manual says that "Arnie has been chosen to perform four missions that require stealth, skill and extreme violence."

The muscleman shoots and bombs his way through four enemy-infested territories:

There are enemies on every level, from simple infantry armed with rifles, mortars or rocket launchers to machine team teams, missile batteries and tanks. Most of the opponents are stationary and stolidly fire in a single direction; however, foxholes release cannon-fodder at a constant rate.

To destroy such nests or to efficiently dispatch groups of soldiers, Arnie has a limited supply of grenades. Some dead foes drop more powerful weapons as well as invaluable first aid kits and extra lives.

Arnie is a masculine given name, frequently a shortened version of Arnold. It may refer to:

Arnie (video game)

Arnie is a game developed by Zeppelin Games in 1992, featuring a lone soldier who must fight through army camps.

The game opens as Arnie is airlifted into a forest with cabins full of enemy soldiers. At the start of the game he is equipped with an Armalite AR-15 rifle. Tanks, helicopters, and other military artillery also attempt to kill Arnie. Defeating enemy soldiers earns the player more powerful weapons, making the later parts of the game easier. These do have limited ammunition, however. The object of the game is to reach the dictator's HQ and defeat him.

The game was available on various Commodore formats. It was also issued as a demo tape by Commodore magazine.

Zepplin released the sequel, Arnie II, in 1993.

Although it is obvious that the game's name alludes to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arnie II is not a licensed title and is not based on any movie.

Arnie (TV series)

Arnie is a television sitcom that ran for two seasons (1970–72) on the CBS network. It starred Herschel Bernardi, Sue Ane Langdon, and Roger Bowen.

Bernardi played the title character, Arnie Nuvo, a longtime blue collar employee at the fictitious Continental Flange Company, who overnight was promoted to an executive position. The story lines mainly focused on this fish-out-of-water situation, and on Arnie's sometimes-problematic relationship with his well-meaning but wealthy and eccentric boss, Hamilton Majors Jr. (Bowen). Because he still held his union card, Arnie could negotiate tricky management/labor situations that no one else could. Arnie's surname was presumably a pun on nouveau riche (which his promotion effectively made him), and possibly also on Art Nouveau.

In addition to Bernardi, Bowen, and Langdon (as Arnie's wife Lilian), cast members included Del Russel and Stephanie Steele as Arnie's son and daughter, Richard and Andrea; Elaine Shore as Arnie's secretary, Felicia; and Herb Voland as sour-tempered executive Neil Ogilvie.
