Time Commando

Time Commando is an action title where the player controls Stanley Opar, an operative tasked with entering a corrupted military simulation. This simulation spans eight distinct historical and future periods, each with a unique arsenal and enemy types that must be confronted.

The core gameplay involves combat within pre-rendered environments, using a control scheme where movement is relative to the character. Players manage a life bar, multiple lives, and a per-level time limit. Reducing this timer requires depositing collected computer chips into specific locations in each stage.

Stanley's mission originates from a corporate sabotage plot, where a virus has destabilized the simulation and created a vortex threatening reality. Progression through the eras, from Prehistoric to Future, demands adapting to available weapons, which range from primitive tools to laser pistols. Effective play involves selecting appropriate arms and utilizing a set of attack and block maneuvers against foes.
