Commando

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You are Super Joe, a Special Forces member, dropped (from a helicopter) into a jungle aiming to rapidly eliminate a massive army of enemy soldiers. You are called to shoot your way through large numbers of military hordes and save the prisoners of war. Your mission is quite tough and the only you can trust is your machine gun and your (limited) hand grenades. The enemy soldiers are either wandering around shooting and throwing grenades at you or they hide in various spots, drive army vehicles towards you etc. So shoot, shoot and...shoot again and do not forget, by any means, to rescue the captured soldiers from the enemy!

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The NES version features quite large sprites with fast animation. It plays and looks better compared to the 8bit home computers (Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and Sinclair ZX). The terrains look nice and detailed enough and the sound, apart from the weapons' sound effects, features a memorable music score that gives some tension to your mission. After so many years, Commando is still considered one of the best vertical action shooters ever!
