AHHH THESE WERE THER DAYS............NONE OF YOUR 3D .H.D. SHIT,JUST A TAPE PLAYER, A GAME, USUALLY COPIED ON A TAPE TO TAPE HI FI UNIT AND A KEMPSTON JOYSTICK
This has many times been hailed as the best 8-bit version. Looking at it and hearing it, it is noting special.
No music.
Terrible sound effects.
No colourshading, a kind of mono seethrough graphics.
But it seems to play well. Have anyone Amstradusers here tried both the Spectrum and Amstrad version. Let me know what you think of these two versions..

I remember that last little guy outside the end of level gate,and running away from him so you could get an angle on him to shoot,all the while knowing one slip up and it's back you go. XD
used to be my favourite game. i used to utilise the autofire on my quickshot 2 for this one. oh yes, those little blue commie twats were in bother when i finished school. i can remember we also used to copy games by just recording the tape...how good was that. simples....
I had both the c64 and speccy versions (the c64 later) the c64 one graphics / sound wise was better (mr hubbard music ;-) ) BUT i heard it took a lot of space.. thats why the game is so short.. the speccy one was far more challenging gameplay / difficulty wise.. so although my fav 8 bit machine is the c64... the spectrum wins out for me on this conversion wise, solely on the gameplay being a challenge.
the colours on c64 were better and the soundtrack. but speccy wins hands down on resolution and details. which im shocked because i remember c64 being alot better. but after being on a c64 emulator i can see the speccy wins hands down. cobra on c64 sucked, u seen that? speccy one was beast lol
@evorobin No, it was the basic big, square, black one (seen in Google images), with the 2 big flat red buttons and red shaft with a ball at the top. Incredibly strong - you could beat someone to death with it! I don't think you can use auto-fire on Commando because you throw hand grenades by holding the fire button longer (or possibly pressing the space bar on the keyboard - but then you'd need three hands). The Atari 2600 joystick (had the same connector) was great too - tough as old boots. ;)
i dont understood your question but i'll try to answer you as good as i can. Although i have a spectrum 48k and spectrum+, i used to play and record videos with an emulator called Spectaculator. i hope i'v answered you
what i don't know if it's possible buying a tape record nowadays. U can use also an ancient HiFi but on that case u have to buy a current with a stereo jack on one of the edges(for hifi) and two jacks on the other(for Speccy). I hope this answer helped you
It's ok i've got an old cassette player but i ordered this speccy off e bay and it has'nt arrived yet i just wanted to know if you could use an old cassette player. Thanks for that.

i think at it's time all speccy users thought "crap graphics". But once you're fighting its' very funny :)

My top score on this version of Commando was 337650, Area 16! I think I used a Kempston joystick, not the keyboard. Boy I was great!

I got a speccy 48k but no tape recorder. Can you use any tape recorder for it?

No i mean to play games. The +2 had a built in one but the 48k one is seperate.
ArnoldSwarzeneggar75 3 years ago
Yes u can use any tape recorder which has mic and ear jacks. Other way to play speccy games is with software for loading games from soundcard
