Thumbs up for the Linux version!
I can't change the screen resolution nor play in fullscreen. When I try the screen becomes black though the games is still running.
I didn't have sound at first, it seems the game links to libopenal0 while my system uses libopenal1. libopenal0 is very old, but I made it work symlinking to the newer one.
This is Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy.
Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback. We'll try to look into this, meanwhile you can edit the game settings from:
~/.agen/8-Bit\ Commando/settings.xml
If only it had multiplayer... Or does full version have it?
sure, both versions have local coop. you just need a controller
My one gripe is the unavoidable punishment you take in level 5, on the motorcycle. The explosive barrels unloaded on you from the back of the truck are sometimes completely unavoidable, either because you can't tell whether they're level with the lane your character's in (shadows cast from the barrels would help a lot) - and often times, when you're directly above the truck, a barrel will still hit you, despite it being unloaded from the back of the truck, which seems pretty unfair. Yes, you can shoot them, but you don't always have enough room because of all the maneuvering you have to do throughout the stage while shooting. The levels up until this point are challenging but fair, so level 5 is jarringly unbalanced in comparison, in between the unavoidable barrels and driving into enemies when you're trying to aim up or down and losing health.
Hi Chris. That's a fair criticism. I agree that the stage is a difficult in the sense that it's hard not to lose health. I think one of the issues is that it's a driving stage as opposed to the rest of the levels. Commando is a short game though so hopefully it's doesn't feel like a major fault. There's cheat codes by the way if it's impossible for you to beat the level otherwise.
Oh, I beat the game. I really like pretty much everything about it, except for those aspects of level 5 and wanted to give you my honest opinion. Yes, it is a short game, but it's pretty challenging and makes you memorize the levels to the point where you go into a zen-like trance until you get it right, the way old NES sidescrollers used to do. And that's largely missing from the hand-holding of modern games. Beating this was really satisfying, even more so with a friend.
My issues with level 5 probably also stem from the fact that it reminds me of the first level in Ghostbusters 2 for the NES, a stage I spent an entire weekend on as a kid trying to beat in vain before I had to take it back to the video store. :P
Short but good game, not too hard unlike most retro nowadays.. Cool!
Still got the same problem... I think it'S a video issue... Anyone could pretty please help me?
