Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.
I’ve still got the boxed game at home, I’ve got the 5 1/4 disk version. dont have a 5 1/4 disk drive but. Atari have made it a free download at their site.
These were the Cinemaware games. They were an excellent developer. Also, It Came From The Desert and Defender of the Crown were some of their games. Have many fond memories.
Where did this developer go? Swallowed up by another?

It was simply brilliant.
Does anyone remember the 3 stooges game that was around the same time.
Another classic.

Did this game predate Commando?

I still have the box, manuals and keyboard overlays for it too.
