Prepare for Battle
Your assignment? Simple.
Annihilate the enemy.
Diminish their manpower. Destroy their vehicles.
And detonate their mega-fortress.
Sounds tough? Well, just wait. It gets worse.
Because you have to carry out the entire mission
single-handed!

Gearing Up
1. Make sure the power switch on your game system is OFF.
2. Insert the COMMANDO cartridge as described in your
gamesystem manual.
3. Turn the power switch ON.
For 1 player: Press the RESET lever to begin play.
For 2 players: Press the GAME SELECT lever, then the
RESET lever to begin play.
What's What on the Big Screen
Your score is shown at the top of the screen. At the bottom,
from left to right, the screen shows you how many grenades
you have left, how many lives you have left, and the level
you're currently playing.

Your Artillery
You have two weapons: a rapid-fire machine gun
and grenades.
Machine Gun
‘You'll have unlimited firing capacity with this baby.
And you can shoot it in eight different directions.

‘Aim the joystick in the direction you want to shoot,


and press the joystick button.

Grenades
You start out with three, But you can easily pick up
more. Every time you pass over the two grenade
boxes, you'll acquire four more grenades. So don’t pass
those things up without passing over them.
To toss a grenade, hold down the joystick button. The
grenade will always move directly up-screen from
wherever you toss it.

Moving Through Enemy Territory


You can move in eight different directions:
Forward
Upper Left Diagonal Upper Right Diagonal

Lower Leh Dagoa * 45 @ Lower Right Diagonal


Backward

What’s Out There...


‘There are many things to look for out there in enemy ter-
ritory. Some more dangerous than others. And most
worth valuable points.

2
Here are some of the obstacles you’ll find—and some tips
‘on what to do about them:
THE ENEMY Off them
PALM TREES Blast them or use them as cover
BRIDGES Go under them
BARRICADES Go around them
GRENADE BOXES Go over them
FOX HOLES Avoid them

The Mega-Fortress
At the end of each level (there are eight levels in all),
you'll see a giant fortress of a building. After you’ve
killed a given number of fortress guards, you'll be allowed
to enter the building.

Go through the fortress door as quickly as you can. Once


you do, you’ll automatically destroy the fortress and go
on to the next level,

‘Once you’ve completed all eight levels, you'll start back at


level 1. But don’t be fooled. It may look the same. But it
certainly won’t play the same. Because every round gets
tougher, faster, and much more intense.

Lives and More Lives


You start out with three lives. And for every 10,000 points
you earn, you'll receive another life.
Keeping Score
Here’s how you'll eam your points:
Enemy (shot with machine gun) 200 points
Enemy (knocked out with grenade) 500
Blowing up a tree 500
Crossing over grenade boxes 1,000
