Personal review

A sleeper hit. In this version, you are a soldier who has to rescue Super Joe, hero of Commando.
When you get to near the end of the game, watch for a gruesome death. Pretty tricky to play, but not as tricky as the original arcade.

Official description

For two years, your people have struggled against the relentless onslaught of invading forces. With your army reduced to a handful and your artillery depleted, further resistance seems impossible. But in a hidden underground laboratory, a team of scientists has at last perfected a new kind of fighting machinery: a bionic arm that extends and contracts, providing unheard of strength and maneuverability. Combined with an arsenal of rapid-fire, armor-piercing and heat-seeking weaponry, this will put the power of an entire army in the hands of one man... one carefully chosen soldier, who has what it takes to become a new breed of unstoppable commando... a Bionic Commando. And you are that soldier! Your mission will take you through the heavily-patrolled wilderness surrounding the enemy headquarters and into the very heart of the fortress itself. Even to the most courageous soldier, it would seem an impossible challenge. But there has never been a soldier like the Bionic Commando!

The Japanese title of the game translates to 'Hitler's Resurrection.'

As mentioned above, this game is about Hitler, but all references to Hitler and the Nazis were removed from the US version. This patch will restore the original graphics and text:
