Captain Commando is a futuristic side-scrolling beat ’em up released for the SNES in 1995 by Capcom. Set in Metro City, you play as one of four unique heroesโincluding a mummy with energy knives and a baby piloting a powerful mech suitโbattling against super-powered criminals to save the world.
How to Play
Choose your fighter and battle through waves of enemies using standard attacks, jump attacks, and throws. Each character also has a devastating special attack that clears nearby crowds but consumes a small amount of health. The default browser controls map the SNES D-pad to your keyboard’s arrow keys, with Z, X, A, and S serving as your main action buttons, and Enter to start the game.
Tips
- The dash attack (double-tap a direction, then attack) is a fast, safe way to approach and knock down enemies.
- Save your health-draining special attack for emergencies when you are completely surrounded.
- Baby Head’s mech suit provides excellent range and throw damage, making him a great choice for beginners.
