Commando Commodore 64 comparison (Elite and Nostalgia Arcade and SE)
Audio is from me playing Commando Arcade SE. It is important to remember that Chris Butler wrote this game in weeks and Rob Hubbard composed the tune in one day. It was an awesome game even with the levels missing, there wasn't anything better at the time, not on Coleco and not on CPC. The SE edition has different graphics to the regular Nostalgia release BUT STE has only used the same 4 colours for ALL background graphics (Black, grey, green and orange) and with that in mind he did a fantastic job. Use of "color ram" would have been nice but doubtful the whole game would fit into 64kb RAM then. Technically it can look even better on a C64 but would be a multi-loading game then (which clearly Nostalgia did not want to convert the game over to).
