COMMANDO VBXE

Commando, originally popularized on the Commodore 64, is renowned for its intense action and engaging gameplay. The game's premise is straightforward yet captivating: a lone soldier battles through enemy lines, with the singular mission to defeat all adversaries and progress through levels.

Thanks to Shanti77, Atari XL/XE owners can experience this classic with added flair. The update introduced by Shanti77 includes a notable 8-level expansion, which not only increases playtime but also adds depth to the gaming experience. This expansion is a testament to the dedication and skill of the Atari community's developers.

Visual and Gameplay Enhancements

One of the most significant improvements in this Atari conversion is the visual upgrade. By utilizing the VBXE, the game now boasts enhanced colors and additional sprites, making the gameplay smoother and more visually appealing. Such enhancements are crucial for bringing retro games into the modern era without losing their nostalgic charm.

Moreover, the gameplay mechanics have seen fine-tuning. Fixes such as preventing the player from falling into a swamp/trench after completing a level and adjusting the grenade throw at the level's start address some of the original version's minor issues, improving the overall gaming experience.
