I remember trying to conquer this arcade shooter on my ZX Spectrum long before I got an ST. However, no matter how much I loved it, I sucked because it was so difficult. Thankfully, I've improved with age because I've finally beaten the first stage with its tricky soldiers. It's small victories like this that keep me going!
Unsurprisingly, our conversion has more glam compared to the Speccy. I think we received an authentic conversion with responsive controls, gorgeous smooth scrolling and everything is as spritely as it should be. The one-joystick/button method to control works well compared to the original arcade controls.
Commando is something I love and hate with equal measure so it's a good job this shooter is infuriatingly addictive. Highly recommended - if you can master its hideous learning curve!!
