Commando by Data East drops you straight into the chaos of 1980s jungle warfare, where one fearless soldier takes on an entire army armed with nothing but grenades, grit, and pixel-perfect reflexes. March through enemy territory, rescue hostages, and mow down wave after wave of bad guys in true run-and-gun fashion. Its intense action, catchy soundtrack, and non-stop explosions made it a quarter-eating legend in arcades worldwide. This is old-school arcade mayhem at its finest — simple, fast, and outrageously fun. Grab the joystick, soldier… it’s time to go Commando!
We acquired Commando from Facebook Marketplace. A seller in the Crowley area was looking to part with it after having it in garage for years. Our resident arcade guru Mike Murray repainted the cabinet, did a cap-kit on the monitor, and applied new side art medallions which were missing. He cleaned and serviced all of the controls and replaced the buttons with brand new ones that actually work! Mike also added new green arcade T-Molding for a custom look as the old black T-molding was looking very bad.
Arcade machines have minds of their own! You might want to call or email before visiting to verify. Sometimes a game decides to take an unscheduled nap in the repair shop.
You asked for it — and we delivered! Our YouTube fans wanted a way to support their favorite games, so we created Adopt-An-Arcade — a fun way to help keep these classics alive and glowing. Think of it like donating to a museum, but for arcade legends instead of dusty relics. Every dollar goes directly to the care and maintenance of the game you adopt, and you can give once or become a monthly supporter to keep it running strong.
Lock and load! In Commando by Data East, you’re a one-man army storming enemy lines with endless bullets and pure 8-bit adrenaline.
