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 Commodore conversion features cool graphics without having to fill the screen with impressive details. This conversion uses better color-picking compared to the CPC and has as many as possible details taken from the original, such as trees, lakes, bridges, vehicles, enemy camps etc. The game on the C64 runs smoother and faster compared to its 8bit counterparts, offering better gameplay. As for its sound, the C64 Commando conversion features a nice main menu tune and a wonderful in-game tune (that reminds me a lot of the 128 ZX Spectrum conversion) while the sound effects are limited to only the ... grenades(!)
