'''Bionic Commando''', released in Japan as {{Nihongo|'''Top Secret'''|トップシークレット,|Toppu Shīkuretto|lead=yes}}, is a [[1987]] action [[platform]] game released by [[Capcom]] for the [[arcade]]. It was later released for several home computers (ported by [[Software Creations]] and published by [[Go!]]). | '''Bionic Commando''', released in Japan as {{Nihongo|'''Top Secret'''|トップシークレット,|Toppu Shīkuretto|lead=yes}}, is a [[1987]] action [[platform]] game released by [[Capcom]] for the [[arcade]]. It was later released for several home computers (ported by [[Software Creations]] and published by [[Go!]]). An emulation of the arcade version is included in [[Capcom Classics Collection]] for [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]]; and [[Capcom Classics Collection Remixed]] for [[PSP]]. | ||
Capcom later produced a sequel for the [[NES]], titled '''''Hitler's Resurrection: Top Secret''''', but localized with the same title '''''[[Bionic Commando (NES)|Bionic Commando]]'''''. The identical title created confusion, and the sequel is often considered a port, but it is drastically different from the original arcade game. | |||
The game was advertised in the United States as a sequel to ''[[Commando]]'', going as far to refer to the game's main character as Super Joe (the protagonist of ''Commando'') in the promotional brochure, who was originally an unnamed member of a "special commando unit" in the Japanese and World versions. The protagonist of the game is a commando equipped with a bionic arm featuring a grappling gun, allowing him to pull himself forward or swing from the ceiling. The series is notable for being one of few instances of a platform game in which the player cannot jump. To cross gaps or climb ledges, the hero must use his bionic arm. | The game was advertised in the United States as a sequel to ''[[Commando]]'', going as far to refer to the game's main character as Super Joe (the protagonist of ''Commando'') in the promotional brochure, who was originally an unnamed member of a "special commando unit" in the Japanese and World versions.
