Commando (c) Atari 1989 for the Atari 8 bit line of computers

Finally, I got around to trying out the infamous EXPERT difficulty.. As you can see in the video, I didn't really get very far. Indeed, single player gameplay has always been very challenging, and I'm afraid my skills are far from sufficient to beat it.

By sticking to the rule 'three times is enough' I narrowly avoided some serious frustration to set it. Yes, this difficulty level is THAT hard and challenging.

Anyway, now I think I have two essential options - either get better by practicing (which might include fighting strong urges to yell at the screen, after a few unsuccesfull rounds), or get a friend to help out. Frankly, I'm not sure which of the two is more likely to happen.

Using the Atari800Win PLus emulator (http://www.a800win.atari-area.prv.pl/) with basic Atari 800XL settings (XL/XE / 64kB RAM / PAL version).
