Below the title are four menu options in white text: "1 PLAYER," "2 PLAYERS," "1P CONT," and "2P CONT." The score display shows "10 000000" on the left, "HIGH 000000" in the center, and "2ND 000000" on the right. At the bottom, copyright information reads "TM AND © 1985 CAPCOM USA, INC." and "NINTENDO OF AMERICA INC." in white pixelated text.

Commando is a top-down run-and-gun action game released in 1986 by Capcom. Players control a military commando navigating through eight progressive stages filled with enemy soldiers and vehicles. The gameplay centers on moving across the screen while simultaneously shooting in the direction the player is facing, requiring strategic positioning and quick reflexes. The commando can fire standard bullets and throw grenades as a limited secondary weapon. Each stage features waves of enemies and environmental obstacles that must be overcome to reach the exit. The game supports two-player simultaneous co-op gameplay, allowing players to fight through the campaign together. Controls are straightforward—using the D-Pad to move in eight directions and action buttons for shooting and grenade deployment. Difficulty escalates across the eight stages with more aggressive enemy patterns and larger formations.
