Commando, originally released as Senjō no Ōkami (戦場の狼 lit. “Wolf of the Battlefield”?), is a run and gun, vertically scrolling shoot ’em up arcade game released in 1985. Its influence can be seen in various later games in the genre, including Gun.Smoke, Who Dares Wins, Ikari Warriors, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Jackal, Heavy Barrel, Trax, and others.
It was released for several platforms, including the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Intellivision, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Amiga, Nintendo Entertainment System, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro and PC. Versions of the game also appear on Capcom Classics Collection for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PlayStation Portable, Activision Anthology for the PlayStation 2, and on the Wii Virtual Console Arcade. It was also featured on Capcom Arcade Cabinet for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Commando Remake
Game is otherwise the same (almost, there are a few surprises here and there).
Remember … press SPACE to select new Sound modes. You can long press FIRE to fire grenades. Check the Summary and Docs for more info …
A note to different versions:
FL (FileLoader) version should work on all devices. It still has a custom loader for 1541, 1571, 1581, etc. most common devices though. It will work nicely on SD2IEC, IEC2ATA, IDE64, etc. and will use your speeder of choice (JiffyDos, Dolphin,…)
IFFL version will work on the most usual devices as all IFFL loaders do. It will be much faster on those devices too compared to the FL version. It is also the only version that supports REU (256kb required, whole game will be loaded to memory!)
EasyFlash version doesn’t need much info. It will save highscores to cartridge of course and those highscores are compatible with FL version too!
