  Bionic Commando....again

  Well it seems I'm Bionic Commando for the second time around... so here goes:

  Level 28: Bionic Commando

  "Bionic Commando - ****c NES game in which you played as a bionic commando who could not jump, but had a nifty extending bionic arm that let you swing from stuff. Truly kick-ass."

  

  The original Japanese version of Bionic Commando ("Top Secret: Hitler's Revival" - Japanese title) placed the main character, Radd/Ladd Spencer, in a battle against futuristic Nazis. The final boss was Adolf Hitler who had been resurrected by evil scientists. The story featured in the English version of the game begins with a search for Super Joe, who was the main character of Commando. In truth, Commando and Bionic Commando are actually unrelated games.
  Unlike the arcade version, the NES version is an action/adventure game, in which the player has to explore each stage and obtain the necessary equipment to progress through the game.

  Map: Instead of moving in a straight path through the levels, the player can, between levels, move around on a map-like screen. The player can move his helicopter one space at a time between the areas, represented by numbers.

  

  Bionic arm: The main character is a commando with a bionic arm which can grab onto surfaces, allowing him to pull himself forward, or swing from the ceiling. The game is notable for being one of few platform games in which the player cannot jump. To cross gaps, the hero must swing like Tarzan on a vine.

  
  ^ Bionic arm in use ^

  Health: Enemies can sometimes be defeated for "bullets", which, if the player gets enough of them, will add extra units of health. This is important because the player only starts with one life point.
