Commando is a vertically scrolling shoot'em up arcade game released in 1985. Its influence can be seen in several later games in the genre. The player takes control of a soldier named Super Joe, who starts by being dropped off in a jungle by a helicopter, and has to fight his way out singlehandedly, fending off a massive assault of enemy soldiers. Super Joe is armed with a sub-machine gun (which has unlimited ammunition) as well as a limited supply of hand grenades. While Joe can fire his gun in any of the eight directions that he faces, his grenades can only be thrown vertically towards the top of the screen, irrespective of the direction Joe is facing. Unlike his SMG bullets, grenades can be thrown to clear obstacles, and explosions from well placed grenades can kill several enemies at once. 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 to free prisoners of war as they are transported across the screen by the enemy. 64 Commando Remake is a retro arcade game; a new version of a 1980s home port of an arcade game. Does that make sense? The important information is that this is a fast, one player vertical shoot 'em up. You play a commando and have to survive waves and waves of enemy soldiers. The C64Commando Remake can be played via keyboard or game pad, and has very simple controls: 8-way directional control, and shooting in the direction your commando is facing. you can throw grenades if you have them, although they can only be thrown ahead! In keeping with the 8-bit feel, C64 Commando Remake has very blocky graphics, and a bleepy C64 soundtrack (considered one of the best of its genre). This isn't a modern remake, but one faithful to the original. You have three lives, there are no saves over the two levels, and it's pretty hardcore by today's standards. Touch a soldier or a bullet and you're dead! C64 Commando Remake feels a little quicker than the original game, although it's difficult to be sure after over 20 years! It's incredibly basic, but that's the attraction of retro games, which are much easier to just pick up and play, even if the difficulty level is higher.
