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. ;)

Glorified brawler with bad controls

So, you like punishingly hard games? Maybe with horrible tank controls? Where you control a guy who sometimes just can't land a hit? Where AI visibly cheats and avoids your punches and kicks with ease, while landing 2-3 hit combos on your face? Where you lose your life upgrades after death? And say, you like when savepoints are one or two per level, and sometimes hidden? Well then here's your new favourite game! Seriously, for the very first time I regret buying a game here.

Bottom of a boot ending!

Great action/adventure title that continues to be enjoyable to this day. I found that easy mode was the right difficulty to complete the game, so to ease your frustration ahead of time I would start here. The variety of weapons in each time are very cool and there are many hidden secrets for those collectors out there. There is a great mix of melee and ranged weapons to choose from. The entire game is on a timer, so remember to move quick. Enjoy!

It's been years

I still have the disk to this game, but have been unable to play it for almost 2 decades. It was one of my absolute favorites. I'm glad i am finally able to play it again. Its gonna bring be back to the 90s. If me wanting to play and buying it again after all this time means anything, its how great this game was.

Solid but nothing spectacular

Well - it's been a while since I played this one, but I remmber it as a nice game that I actually finished. Back then I played a lot but I did not finish all of the games. The game feels lke a sci-fi version of Golden Axe with 3D elements.You can influence the camera, but there are parts where it just does not show you what is important. Like an oldschool left to right 2D action game (Double Dragon, Super Probotector or the Golden Axe I already mentioned). It is not that difficult to play, but a nice chilling thing to do. If you played it back then - buy it. If not, you might be disappointed. I love the title song of the game and still got the mp3 I made from my original CD.
