hahah i remember playing this, brilliant game and the graphics where good for its time.

@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. ;)

Was that the one with yellow buttons and auto shoot switch - I had that bad boy 8)

did terrence and phillip from south park compose the soundtrack for this game?

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..

noob

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

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.

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

Excellent game. It looks a lot like Who Dares Wins.

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!
