Description

Commando is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up released in 1985. Its influence can be seen in several later games in the genre (Ikari Warriors, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Green Beret, to name a few).

All of the versions of the game are very similar, with the same graphics (taking into account the various limitations of the platforms). The player (Super Joe) starts off by being dropped off by a Helicopter in a jungle, and now has to fight his way out, killing the massive assault of enemy (wearing German WWII era uniforms) soldiers singlehandedly.

At the end of each level, the screen stops, and the player must fight several soldiers streaming from a gate or fortress. They are ordered out by a cowardly Officer, who immediately runs away, although shooting him in the back awards the player bonus points. Along the way, one can attempt freeing hostages, who are transported across the screen by the enemy.
