Description

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. ;)

Amazing game

I played this game long time ago when I was a kid, for me this game is the essence of what a video game can achieve: - Good athmosphere through levels - Great adventures with bonuses - Lot of weapons and ennemis - Very good graphics for the time - Fun fun fun ! I recomend it, even if I feel nostolgic studios are not doing game like this today...

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.
