Rumble in the Jungle
A feverish top down vertical scroller about a renegade soldier taking on hordes of gun-wielding enemies. Commando is a rather simple game, weapons are limited to your faithful machine gun and grenades. Avoiding the bullets fired by the enemies makes the game difficult, because there is no energy bar and one hit will force your avatar to surrender with his hands high up in the air. The game has a very steep difficulty curve and back in the day, completing it earned you lots of respect by your friends and foes. Commando also features a fantastic soundtrack by Rob Hubbard.
