Space Commando is claimed to be, and is, a "fast-action arcade style game in fantastic 3D perspective". The object of the game is to rid the galaxy of hostile aliens. A fairly standard plot, which is improved by the ability to select which of the many aliens to attack next. When you arrive in the selected sector of the galaxy, you can see a from-the-cockpit view of the surrounding space and a background of moving stare. In the centre of the screen are your gunsights into which you must manoeuvre the The battle isn't all one-sided, since when the aliens get close enough to you they will open fire, and any hits will decrease your limited energy resources even faster. When you have destroyed sufficient aliens you will be able to choose another type. If you are low on energy it is possible to move to a sector which contains your mothership and refuel from it. The fast action, excellent graphics and good sound, as well as the incentive of working up through the ranks of space pilot until you become a space commando make this a very good game.
