##Game description

Commando is a shoot and run, vertically scrolling arcade game released in 1985. It’s one of the most influenceable games of this genre. This game was realized in various home consoles and home computers. The game was very famous when it was released and it appears on different known consoles as Capcom Classics Collection, Activision Anthology, and on the Wii Virtual Console Arcade, as well as Capcom Classics Collection Arcade Cabinet for Play Station 3 and Xbox 360.

The plot is about a soldier named Super Joe who starts being dropped off in a jungle by helicopter, and has to fight his way out singlehandedly, fending off a massive assault of enemy soldiers. In the game you have a sub-machine gun with unlimited ammunition as well as a limited supply of hand grenades. You can fire with the sub-machine gun in any direction that you character faces but the grenades can only be thrown vertically towards the top of your character without making reference where the character is looking. At the end of each level, the screen stops, and the player must fight several soldiers streaming from a gate or fortress. They are ordered out by a cowardly officer, who immediately runs away, although shooting him in the back awards the player bonus points. You can win bonus points if you safe the prisoners from the enemy soldiers in different parts of the game. In the NES version, there is a more powerful machine gun upgrade, as well as "glasses" to let the player view all the hidden bunkers and an unlimited grenade upgrade (the player will lose these upgrades after losing a life).
