Capcom's 1985 vertically scrolling run-and-gun, an early template for the genre. Originally a Strategy title for the Commodore 64, Commando is part of the library supported by the R36 handheld series. Full-speed on all R36 models — it is an 8-bit machine. Many titles expect a keyboard, so the emulator's virtual keyboard gets used more here than on any console, and multi-disk games prompt you to swap disks mid-play.
