Commando DescriptionYou are a highly trained solder whose mission is to annihilate the enemy and rescue important captives. To do this you must destroy the enemy base, which is said to be impregnable. Your weapons consist of a machine gun with unlimited shots and a limited supply of hand grenages that may be replenished by stealing from the enemy.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsOlder ROM revisions allowed the player to hide behind trees or other obstacles indefinitely. A new ROM revision (U3-F at 8M and U4-F at 9M) was released to allow the enemy characters to hurl hand grenades at the soldier when he is hiding.ConversionSince the game uses the standard CAPCOM pinout, games such as Avengers, Legendary Wings or Exed Exes can be swapped in without modification. Data East also included a Capcom to Data East pinout adaptor board with Commando, so it should be possible to play any of these games in a Ring King or Battle Lane Vol. 5 machine.Game PlayUse the joystick to maneuver the player, the fire button to shoot the machine gun and the grenade button to hurl hand grenades. Dodge all bullets and grenades and do not collide with the enemy soldiers!Extra lives are awarded for exceeding certain scores. Score more points for destroying enemy leaders and their headquarters. Bonus points are awarded for rescuing captives. The arch bridge is a dnagerous spot so watch for attacks from above. Becareful of trucks and jeeps that may try to run over you. Do not fall into rivers or ponds. Trees, walls and other obstacles may be used for cover. MiscellaneousCOPY OF: Senjou No OokamiLICENSOR: Capcom VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Common - There are 88 known instances of Commando owned by one of our 900 members.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for Commando. For Sale - There are 3 VAPS members with Commando machines for sale. There are 3 VAPS members with extra Commando circuit boards for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TriviaThe original Japanese title, "Senjou No Ookami," translates to "Battlefield Of The Wolf."eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Commando Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Nihon Bussan/AV Japan.
