New bad boy inside the Lair... COMMANDO by Capcom / Data East

[DarthNuno]

Got a nice visit last week end... for a nice delivery 



...Cebulba & Tyrem from Germany are in the place!

Nope Stefan... this one is not for you...



...she's mine! 



 

I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan of Commando! Damn, I didn't expect to have this one because it's bloody rare here in Europe...which is logical, this dedicated cabinet wasn't imported in Europe as far as I know (we played it on generic cabinets), but there it is, guys...Commando!

I can hostly say that this game belongs to my all time top ten arcade video game! Also played a lot the computers ports back in the Day, also 'who dares wins' on my beloved Amstrad CPC, which was a fantastic rip off of Commando. Me happy! 

[Tyrem]

you totally deserve this, man! it was a blast to be at your place again. and it was great fun to move the bigger beasts around your arcade.

i had a crush on this cab, too... but you wanted it so bad. glad you've got it now.

One of the best game music ever !

I loved it on the C64, never played it on a cabinet.

Nice catch !

Great game, HARD game

have fun with it

[DarthNuno]

One of the best game music ever !

Hell Yeah! I didn't have a C64, but I remember listening it to death at a friend's place...the music was just awesome, especially the 'high score/entering your name' one if I remember well! 

[Etienne MacGyver]

The tape version had cool  loader music too ! "Trans-x - Living on Video"

The main theme is awesome, and the Highscore theme is not bad neighter, bit slow tho.

its amazing he (Rob Hubbart) created this masterpiece in less than 12 hours  IMHO!

The Commodore 64 version's theme, a "funky" version of the arcade music, was created in less than 12 hours by Rob Hubbard, " started working on it late at night, and worked on it through the night. I took one listen to the original arcade version and started working on the C64 version. [...] By the time everyone arrived at 8.00 in the morning, I had loaded the main tune on every C64 in the building! I got my cheque and was on a train home by 10.00". The music has become well known among Commodore 64 enthusiasts and is available from the HVSC.

Congratulations!

Nice catch !

The C64 tune has burned into my brain since back then.
I remember rolling the score on that game while my father was yelling at me from downstairs because it was getting dark outside and i still hadn´t swept the road in front of the house, which was my duty every saturday

this tremendous game is too my very 1st favorite    i 1cc the first loop    wondered times how many loops are there ?.  

  you had multiple lucks there  not long distance and delivered '  and it was the killer price on his listing sale  

this clip of movie+c64 metal cover music  is so motivating

Of course, having guests means ...playing some games! 

I notice this Firefox cockpit is a kind of 'curiosity game' to try!    



...same remark for Galaxian³   



Hardcore gamers here! Very skilled gunners...



The 'official' results (verified by your host )
