Commandos Ammo Pack

As stated in some other review, for those of you having trouble running this game on windows 10, just change the comados.exe in game directory to commandos.exe(yes thats add an m). Enjoy the game

The game itself is a jewel, I played it almost twenty years ago (phew!). However the port in Windows 10 doesn't make justice. It seems that there is a persistent crash in the game for whatever reason (mouse scrolling maybe?) which makes the game unplayable. I had to reboot the laptop as the only solution since I cannot access the task manager and Alt F4 doesn't work. In short I cannot play a game with fear that at every step it's going to freeze and thus, it is rendered as unplayable. A shame!

Still plays great in 2022. One of my all time favorites. A must have!

I got into Commandos when it first came out; I was hooked from that point on. I since played the sequels which I feel are just as good as the original. All and all it's a great game with lodes o' strategy.

So I got all of the Commandos games somewhere else first (probably the humble store, ergo Steam versions) and since they had pretty catastrophic technical failures, I bought them here again, in the hopes that the GOG versions would work. They don't. I get the same issues: I tried on a modern Win7 64bit machine and the games would display 0.1 fps in the menu, which is such horrible lag that I couldn't even click anything at all. This is true for all of the 2D Commandos titles (Call of Duty, Beyond Enemy LInes and Commandos 2). Sometimes alt-tabbing would freeze the PC, sometimes I was lucky enough to open the task manager and force close the process. Either way, on a reboot, the PC would run chkdsk prior to booting Windows. Every time after I had to force close the game. I'm not adventurous enough to risk data loss while mucking about with dozens of potential workarounds for a trip down nostalgia lane. If you want to risk it, better try in a VM first.
