Field Combat

Field Combat was an action game where you fight as a single commanding officer in a generic futuristic battlefield. The object of the game is to make it all the way to the end of the battlefield. As you encounter the enemy, you can fire a beam that allows you to hypnotize the agents of your enemy and employ them in your fight. It came out in 1985 and was quickly eclipsed by the likes of Commando and Ikari Warriors. It was only released in Japan, and it was ported to the NES.
