{"product_id":"commando-nes","title":"Commando - for NES","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommando is a run and gun shooter developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, bringing the company's arcade hit into the home. You take control of a soldier named Super Joe, who is dropped off in a jungle by a helicopter and has to fight his way out singlehandedly, fending off a massive assault of enemy soldiers. Commando was one of the console's early action standouts, and Super Joe became a familiar name in Capcom's lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou push upward through enemy territory with a rifle and a supply of grenades, clearing out soldiers who pour in from every edge of the screen while you look for safe ground. The NES version of Commando adds its own touches: a more powerful machine gun upgrade, an unlimited grenade upgrade, and glasses that let you see all the hidden bunkers. Lose a life and those upgrades are lost with it, which keeps every advance tense. Two players can take on the jungle in turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommando still plays well because its appeal is simple and never runs dry: one soldier, endless opposition, and the constant decision about whether to press forward or clear the screen first. Runs are short, restarts are quick, and the upgrades give each life a shape of its own. Collectors appreciate Commando as an early Capcom release on the Nintendo Entertainment System, from the years when the company was building the reputation it carried through the rest of the generation. It is a sharp, compact cartridge that always earns its space on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Run and Gun Shooter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1986\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capcom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
