Along with Mega Man, Ghosts 'N Goblins and Trojan, Commando helped establish Capcom as one of the greatest NES licensees. The Gunther Brothers have built up an army and are ready to take over the world. Several of your comrades have been sent to fight the Gunther Brothers, but they have all been captured. Your mission is to rescue your comrades and stop the Gunther Brother's evil plans. Commando's age shows in it's graphics, which are very plain and simple.
Nothing is incredibly detailed, and most of the game seems dominated by a few colors.
It's the gameplay in Commando that will keep you coming back. Super Joe controls very well, and there's a variety of enemies to fight and items to find. There are soldiers everywhere, so try to find the Vest as soon as possible. There are unlimited continues, which helps quite a bit. Commando is played from an overhead perspective.
