This game is an unofficial sequel to Elite’s Commando game, and you are controlling Nas, a member of the special commando squad team, that was sent into enemy territory to destroy a nuclear reactor, used for production of atomic warheads.
When the game starts, Nas has damaged the reactor with explosives, causing it to meltdown, and has to make his way to a waiting helicopter so he can escape.
A damaged nuclear reactor is off course not very healthy, so besides the attacking enemies you also have to keep an eye on the radioactivity %. This starts at 6% and you have to get to the helicopter before it reaches 100%.
You have to walk 3.5 km to get to the helicopter, and on this distance you will meet a lot of enemies, and you will also see other squad team members that has been captured. Some are dead and some are alive, if you rescue those who are alive you will get a flamethrower or a bazooka with limited shots, or new supplies of grenades.
The game plays very similar to the original Commando game, and this game also has eight levels. The biggest difference between the two games is that this one has a much higher amount of details to the graphics, and that there is no enemy base you have to defeat at the end of the levels.
It is a shame that there is no in game AY soundtrack, especially as the game is from 1992, but besides that this game can easily compete with the original game, so if you liked that you should also check out this one!
The game was released by Ultrasoft in 1992.
