For retro gaming lovers, discover a jewel from 1996: TIME COMMANDO

A deadly virus has invaded a top secret military super computer. Its catastrophic time-warping effects now threaten to overtake the computer systems of the world. If you cannot restore its memory in time, the growing virus will cause the world's collapse. You must journey through the corridors of history to stop this technological demon. But vicious warriors await with lethal purpose. Instinct will be your only ally. All-out combat, your only choice.

Time Commando will take you on a journey in time and space that you will never forget. With plenty of weapon types, stylized visuals, and diversified gameplay it should keep you entertained for many hours. This title is very unique and it should be a part of every serious game collection.

  • 9 Worlds to explore, each in a different time and place: prehistoric, Roman, feudal Japan, Medieval, Conquistador, the Wild West, and the modern wars.
  • Impressive arsenal of weapons, from Katanas through rifles and spells to a technologically advanced combat yo-yo.
  • Entertaining and challenging puzzle-solving elements, stylized visuals, and an original story.

Disclaimer 1: this game uses DosBox.
Disclaimer 2: this is the European version of the game. The introduction has no voice over.
Disclaimer 3: start with the easy mode. ;)

works ok on modern systems but...

if you're familar with the PS1 version, then the biggest differences is that they removed the narration for intro and outro cutscenes. Beyond that this and PS1 versions are nearly idenctial. I recomend for those with nostaliga goggles, but for any newcommers to this game it's rough and i'm sure you'll quit the game before the first couple of levels.

Nostalgia trip!

To the individual whose review included "So, you like punishingly hard games?" and "Where AI visibly cheats and avoids your punches and kicks with ease, while landing 2-3 hit combos on your face?".... you made me laugh more than I should've. I beat this game when I was like four years old, it's sad that you're old enough to write this review and yet somehow worse at gaming than a four-year-old in the year 2000. Guess they don't make kids like they used to. Too used to fortnite. This game is dope, the soundtrack is amazing. Game was FAR ahead of its time.

Linear is awesome in this case.

Talk about the ultimate linear game. This thing is on rails and I loved every minute of it back when it was released. The graphics were eye popping for the time and the beat-em-up style gameplay was very reminiscent of very old classics like Karateka. If any of you remember Karateka then you are showing your age like me.

Yes it is old...

Yes this game is old, the graphics are not very sharp and controls need some training, but... * unique style of pre-rendered backgrounds with models on top * nice setting of fighting through time periods * good mixture of melee and ranged combat If you are not repelled by old graphics, try this game.
