This is an excellent 2D war game. 3D games sometime give me a headache. Two thumbs up.
I did notice a bug in one of it's missions where I couldn't escape even after finishing the mission.

After 6 yrs, I still love it.

It has been 6 yrs ago since the last time I played it. I finished this game and you know, its passion is still remain in me until now.

I can recall exactly how my characters, have ventured with me through out a long distance. About mission 14, when I group all of them to the boat and escape to the sea, their HP are just enough for survival. What a remarkable game. The only game could draw my passion. 6 yrs ago just like yesterday. :)

How it works

To the guy who posted this only works on 95 and 98 only, don't install it, it will not install but copy the commandos folder (the fold that has all the game, not the install stuff) to your hard drive and run the "commandos.exe" then u should have no problems, cuz it works fine on my computer

EDIT:When you insert the CD, the install menu should show up. Close that.

Then open "my computer" in there you should see your CD in your D drive called "COMMANDOS_EARLY" or "COMM_BEL" or what ever depends on the verisons

Right click that and select "Explore"

Once in the folder you should see an AOL, COMANDOS, CPATROL, DEMOS, DIRECTX, DXMEDIA, EREG, INSTALL, MANUAL - Folders

Select the commandos folder and drag it to your desktop.

Once your computer has copied the commandos folder to your desktop, open it and right click "commandos.exe" and select "properties" then in there, there should be two tabs "general" and "compatibility" select "compatibility" and click on the box that says
"Run this program in compatibly mode for:" and then set it to windows 98.

And after you're done with everything close everything and double click the "commandos.exe"

Doesn't work with WINDOWS XP

The Game is good I have played before but the installable in this CD will not work any version of windows other than 95 and 98. This is crap... I dont know how many people are using 98 Windows still, my purchase is waste as I can't change OS for this.

Very Impressive

If your looking for a game that will keep you thinking for hours on end, then Commandos is the game for you. This game may follows the same way as other RTS games but the way it's set up is truly unique. All of your men have to make it out alive. If even one of them dies, it's all over. The challenge is really good to. It took me over a hour to figure out some the early missions. Definitely a game that you won't get bored with.

This game kicks ...!!!! I am a computer freak and a World War 2 nut. This game is one of the best ever made. It is unlike any other strategy game ever made. It requires patience, strategic thinking, and lots of free time. This game is the first in a series of extraordenary games. You will never find a series better than the Commandos. I spent hours in front of the computer trying to beat just one mission. This game (or series for that matter) is not for you if you like to charge in with guns blazing and spray down the bad guys with lead. It is the best game, in the best series ever, period.

Say goodbye to all your other games

In a world full of 'cookie-cutter first-person shoot-em-up' games, this one stands as one of the best games ever. Instead of mindlessly shooting everything in sight, one must think and plan to win in any of the scenarios -- quite often a mission can be completed without killing everyone.

I've owned this game for several years now, and keep coming back to it as it never gets old since you find yourself trying different methods. No special equipment is required such as force-feedback joysticks or voice-recognition. Just a good-response mouse, keyboard, and plenty of your favorite refreshment as you will be playing this game for hours.

One drawback to the game is that people who don't have it will never understand your passion for it.

It's worth the 5 stars!!

Just take a look at the front cover of this game and you can think to yourself that this will be good and it was and still lives up to such a great game. Having been out for sometime I have still not lost interest. When you feel like a relaxing game infront of the computer then look no further but you may not need to relax too much as oyu been a bit of consentration. The battle scenes are so life like and are like you are actually controlling the commandos to complete the mission. When playing it you really think that you are there comtrolling the whole mission and how to get through it. The variety of weapons and types of characters are really superb but one thing that could be better is that they should be able to pick up any type of weapon that they can instead of having a certain set for each character. But you forget all this when playing as you get used to it and the different weapons that they all carry are so great anyway. Even being able to see where the enemy are looking adds a great touch to it. All the different locations make the game even more so realistic and great to play. All it needs is a bit more expanding and it will change from being a superb game to a amazing game. You will not be disappointed.

Better get a comfortable chair...

Yes, you better get a comfortable chair because with this game you'll get hours of fun behind the monitor. If you really like a challenging game you must get this, if don't, then don't waste your time and money. It has cool graphics, the storyline is great, all you need is patience and time to learn how to use each commando. Altought is a very difficult game, it has some "resourcers" you can use to make it easy (can this game get easy...??) to play like hot keys, multiple camera modes, etc...as i said get a comfortable chair and give it a go.

This is what we call strategy game

Commandos,is not a simple game ...its a game for people who ask for lots of action and thinking and enoyability without getting too much prework before real action begins...this game gives it all...simple tasks simple players but complicated missions.The amazing in this game is that its not one of the strategy games that there is only one way to solve a mission!Even in the difficult ones there r key moves that can make things easier for you.Its one of the very few games that works only if u imagine yourself in the place of the heroes you r handling....excellent!
