Strategy games often entail the construction of buildings in order to secure victory in scenarios. Commandos decided to do something radically different. In favor of building, you infiltrate.

Using an overhead third person perspective, you control a select group of commandos as they infiltrate, kill, sneak, and sabotage the plans of the third reich and secure assured victories for the allied powers.

Being a Fallout fan, I felt quite at home with this mix of adventure, action, and strategy.

I must digress, that I can certainly see the first four Commando games up on the Adventure Legends list if only because they felt more along the lines of tactical RPG gaming that Fallout Tactics tried to imitate years later. Though, considering Commandos: Strike Force is already on the 3D Shooter Legends list, it seems quite a shame not to compliment that with the first few games. After all, I'm still getting over the shock that they choose to make the series into a third person shooter rather than continuing the epic like tactical adventure games they had done before.

Here's the basic bare essentials for some Adventure Legends entries.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines - http://www.mobygames.com/game/commandos ... nemy-lines

Commandos: Beyond The Call Of Duty - http://www.mobygames.com/game/commandos ... ll-of-duty

Commandos 2: Men Of Courage - http://www.mobygames.com/game/commandos ... of-courage

Commandos 3: Destination Berlin - http://www.mobygames.com/game/commandos ... ion-berlin

No real need to go anywhere else for screenshots and the like, since Mobygames seems to have all that covered.

Again, here's hoping I see these games get their own entries on the Adventure Legends site. Heck, Grom: Terror In Tibet's got similar gameplay and it's on the list. Can't see why these games should be neglected.

They will be in Strategy Legends, just wait the site to be available !

Oh really? Well, look on the bright side, least now the site manager won't have to do the ever so tedious task of going onto search engines just to find the necessary items to make their game entries.

And if we ever have a HardAsHellLegends site (new games that are hard as hell are becoming increasingly rare), you can guarantee those titles will be there too.
