Commando (bootleg set 2) [Bootleg]

Mastering Commando (bootleg set 2) requires adapting to its higher difficulty compared to the official Capcom release, so follow these pro tips to beat all eight levels. First, prioritize constant, deliberate movement: never stay in one spot for more than two seconds, as this bootleg’s increased enemy spawn rate means hidden snipers on elevated ridges and rushing melee infantry will spawn on both sides of the screen to surround you if you linger. Use your 8-directional joystick to aim first at high-ground enemies, as their long-range bullets travel faster and do not despawn when you move out of their initial line of sight. Conserve your hand grenades for high-value targets only: this bootleg reduces grenade drop rates by roughly 25% compared to the original game, so wasting them on single infantry units will leave you defenseless against machine gun bunkers, armored jeeps, and clustered enemy squads. A single grenade can take out an entire group of 4+ enemies or destroy a bunker in one hit, so save them for these scenarios exclusively. Use environmental cover to your advantage: rocks, destroyed trucks, and concrete barriers block all enemy fire, so duck behind them to reload and pick off exposed enemies from safety. For end-of-level bosses, always take out peripheral weapons first: the first level’s triple-turret bunker boss, for example, has 30% more health in this bootleg, so destroy the left and right turrets first before targeting the central core with grenades to avoid taking unnecessary damage. Finally, look for the hidden infinite ammo pickup in the top-left corner of level 3: shooting the unmarked metal crate there gives you 10 seconds of unlimited rifle fire to clear the heavily defended bridge section easily.
