* Roman Empire: Dagger, gladius, sling*, trident with shield, battle-axe * Prehistoric: Rocks*, bone knife, club, spear, giant wooden club In each time era, Stanley is able to use weapons unique to that era. This bar can be emptied by depositing computer chips collected throughout the levels in various "orb pools," which resemble the vortex Stanley first entered. As the player plays through a level, a time bar, which counts down time until the virus completely takes over and the player dies, slowly fills. Along the same lines, Stanley has multiple lives.
Stanley has a small life bar that grows larger further into the game, when the player picks up life power-ups. For example, the Prehistoric level features rocks and clubs, feudal Japan throwing stars and katanas, the Wild West pistols and rifles, and the Modern War levels has submachine guns and rocket launchers. These eras include Prehistoric (featuring cavemen, saber tooth tigers, and cave bears), Roman Empire, Feudal Japan, Medieval, Conquistador, Wild West, Modern Wars ( World War I and possibly World War Three), Future, and finally, a showdown with the virus.Īs the player goes through each level, he/she collects various weapons exclusive to the time period.
In order to accomplish this, the player must combat various real-life enemies throughout different time periods. The player controls Stanley Opar, an employee at the center who enters the vortex to try and stop the virus. However, a programmer from a rival corporation infects the system with a virus that creates a time-distortion vortex, which threatens to swallow the world if it is not destroyed. The game takes place in the near future, and the military, with the help of a private corporation has created a computer capable of simulating any form of combat from any point in history. A Sega Saturn version of the game was also released in Japan on March 5, 1998. It was originally released for the PC on Jin Europe, United States and Brazil, and was later ported for PlayStation and released on September, 1996 in Europe, on September, 1996 in the United States and on Novemin Japan. "Time Commando" is an action-adventure computer and video game developed by Adeline Software and published by Electronic Arts in Europe, Activision in America ( United States and Brazil), and Virgin Interactive ( PlayStation version) and Acclaim Entertainment ( Sega Saturn version) in Japan. For my nostalgic and your reading pleasure, here’s my list of titles that I think deserve another dance.Developer = Adeline Software International
However, I will admit there are a few games of yore, that if they got the remastered treatment I wouldn’t object to playing. Full-blown remakes are something that I can get around, such as Resident Evil 2 (the greatest game of all time). I rarely find myself wanting to go back and replay a title I have played once or twice before, especially if it is merely a fresh coat of paint on the remastered version. While I’m not completely against the practice, I am of the mindset that new is always better. There’s no denying that remastering the right title can end up being money for jam, and seeing how much harder it is becoming for new IPs to break into the market of big franchises it’s no wonder that more publishers are looking back through their catalogue to find that revenue. Some of us here at DYEGB are ardent detractors of the remaster program that has gained popularity amongst publishers this console generation.
