Commando

Not related to the Arnold Schwarzenegger film of the same name, Commando was one of Capcom's earliest pre-Mega Man hits. You were a soldier named Super Joe, and it was an overhead game where you were a equipped with a machine gun and grenades and went around killing enemies and saving hostages. Still a fun game to play every now and then. Also paved the way for other games like Ikari Warriors and Heavy Barrel.

Huh... I always avoided playing that game because I thought it was related to the movie. Now I'm disappointed that I missed it back in the day.
