I have only vague recollections of the Commando arcade
game. The control seems tough, and this game whips me pretty
quickly. The graphics are good, but I haven't played it enough
yet to give a detailed review. It seems to be a decent port of the arcade game,
but there have been better ones (e.g. Dig Dug, Pac-Man).

| Easter Eggs |
Some sites claim that two Easter eggs exist - credits and a special message. I have not been able to produce any of them, in emulators nor with the actual cartridge. I believe those reports to be in error. |
Only one version of the box has been found for Commando.

Hmmm. Kinda funny how nowadays, the smoking aspect of this game's title screen would be harshly criticized—and likely banned—while the gore of bodies rended by exploding grenades would simply be covered by putting an 'M' somewhere on the box. Go figure. |

The scrolling is quite smooth, and graphics nicely detailed. |
