Better late than never! Activision's port of Capcom's Commando to Atari 2600 may have come along fashionably late, but it ended up as a surprisingly solid run-and-gun for the platform -- even if it's not entirely true to the arcade original. This, of course, raises an interesting question: if a port of an established game is noticeably different from its source material but not actually a "worse" game, is it a bad port?
