Actually, Recon is the old, original RPG. Revised Recon is Palladium's revision of it. Deluxe Revised Recon is Revised Recon & Advanced Recon bundled as one book.

Ooops.

I need more sleep.

Revised Recon is the same game, but v.2.
Deluxe, Revised Recon is Advanced plus Revised.

What is Advanced Recon?

Advanced Recon is a supplement to Revised Recon that covers Non-combat support activities in Laos. Basically it expands Recon so you can do more role-playing than just the standard shoot-'em-up options of Revised Recon.

Which is the wargame?

The original Recon has been referred to as a wargame, as it's lacking in setting information, but it has always been a role-playing game.

Thanks for the answers, by the way!

The original Recon, downloadable from the link provided above, was a small (48 page + GM Screen) softcover book, published in 1982 by RPG INC., a small, now defunct, company. They also put out at least two supplements, Hearts & Minds (Special Forces characters) and Sayaret (Middle East related).

Revised Recon uses the same rule set, but the setting was expanded by Erick Wujcik in 1986.
