Bionic Commando (Arcade)
Bionic Commando also known as Top Secret was released in 1987.
The protagonist of the game is a commando equipped with a bionic arm featuring a grappling gun, allowing him to pull himself forward or swing from the ceiling. The series is notable for being one of few instances of a platform game in which the player cannot jump. To cross gaps or climb ledges, the hero must use his bionic arm.
Story:
According to the original arcade version’s installation manual, the story takes place ten years after an unspecified World War between two warring factions.[6] The game follows a commando who must infiltrate an enemy base and foil the enemy’s plot to launch missiles. The protagonist must pass through four stages to do so:
Level 1: Forest
Level 2: Enemy Outpost (“The Forefront”)
Level 3: Underground Base (“Infiltration”)
Level 4: Final Base
In the Final Base, the hero must stop a missile from launching and then fight the final boss, the leader of the enemy forces, guarded by an armed bodyguard.
As always, remember to have fun!
