In Captain Commando, you can play as one of four heroes. Captain Commando is the leader of the superhero team surprisingly called Commando, Ginzu the Ninja is the stealthy magic wielding member, and Mack the Knife -- or Mummy Commando -- uses his powers of the undead to fight evil. To round out the team, Baby Head is a two-year-old genius who operates a super bad-guy-fighting-machine. Gameplay revolves around visiting various parts of the city and fending off waves upon waves of criminals in the traditional Capcom 2D fighting style.

Captain Commando is a 1991 futuristic side-scrolling beat 'em up game.

STORY
Captain Commando is set in a crime-ridden future in the year 2026, where a superhero named Captain Commando, assisted by his three faithful Commando Companions rise up to protect the Earth and all the Galaxy from a gang of super-powered criminals.

GAMEPLAY
Captain Commando follows the same gameplay established in Capcom's previous beat-'em-up Final Fight. The player can select between any of the four "commandos" (Mack, Captain, Ginzu, or Baby-Head) as their character, with each player controlling a different character. The player's objective as usual is to move towards the end of each stage, defeat every adversary who gets in their way while avoiding any traps that they may throw at the player's way before eventually fighting the boss awaiting at the final area of each stage. The game consists of a total of nine stages.
