81.0. "COMMANDO *******" by OLTP01::JOHNNYBOY () Mon Mar 21 1988 11:10

    Hi Folks... My name's John and this is the first time I've wrote
    into this file... Someone told me about this file and I decided
    to ask this question to any COMMANDO players out there. Where are
    the ever so elusive binoculars... I know where just about everything
    else is except for those damn binoculars... It's rapidly becoming
    an obsession to find them ... so if there's a friendly JOE out
    there in notesland... Would you please help me out. I'm getting
    battle fatigue...and nintendo thumb from playing the game so much.
    
    Thanks,
    JR

81.2Commando HelpGIGI::GOULDThu Mar 24 1988 10:489
    I have been playing the game off and on for a few months and have
    never made it all the way... oh well, I should have paid more attenion
    when I was in the Army. Perhaps you can help me, I have found the
    Radio in Level 2, is there a Radio in each level? Also there is
    one cavern I go into in level 2, that I can't get out, can't find
    any door. Is there one or is that just one you stay out of? Any
    other help you can give...?

    Use your grenades and throw them at the foot of the wall. That opens
    a hidden passage to the surface... Don't waste your grenades, when
    you throw the last one underground when there's no exit visible
    you're dead. Screen 2 is the only screen with the Radio Transmitter
    as far as I know. I know where the machine gun powerups are and
    also the hand grenade powerups...and PURPLE SUPERGRENADES are if
    you don't know.

	If you want the binoculars at an earlier stage, there is also a pair in
stage 1-2. They are right beside the first empty small hole you come to. To get
them, Throw a grenade there two times in the same place. There is also a radio
on 1-1 after the second cliff on the right. To get it 2 grenades on the correct
spot.

81.5Super Joe is a Whimp without a jacket!DNEAST::DUMAIS_BOBTue Dec 06 1988 17:0116
	I got this game cartridge when I decided that Spy Hunter was not
what I expected and thus,  not satisfied with the product.  The only
other available game pack from the store we had purchased the game from
was Commando, and I must admit have had more fun playing this game vrs. Spy
Hunter.  I was pleased to see a note on this game and have used some of the
tips supplied (like grenading an area twice to get the item to show up!).
My son has completed the game with no weapons or special items(the kid is
quick!)  Unfortunately I always seem to end up bloodied by some snipers
bullet or shrapnel from a barrage of grenades.  
	I would like a bit of help with this game.  Could anyone tell me
where the Flack Jacket is located?  All I need is what world it's in and
I can grenade the dickens out of the area (if I can make it that far) to find
the bloody thing unless it's underground!
        Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

	Bob
81.6Flack Jacket FOUND!DNEAST::DUMAIS_BOBThu Feb 23 1989 11:1011
	Well it's been a while since anything has been written in this note. 
Just to let you all know,  I found the flack jacket (totally by luck!) and
completed this game.  The jacket IS all it's cracked up to be!  Getting the
jacket and the binoculars helped to locate all the underground hide-outs.  Super
Joe can Kick Butt when he has the jacket.  If anyone else would like to know
where the jacket is drop me a line.  If there is enough interest I will post it
here.

81.7CODE FOR BINOCULARS......POETS::SCHNARECHARLIE SCHNAREFri Apr 07 1989 20:5638
     There is a way to start out with binoculars.

                  The code you use is
    on the second controller you go left 3X   B 2X  A 4X RIGHT 1X
    
     You do this when the title screen appears. You have to do this rather
    fast because there is a limited time like CONTRA.
    
         When you die you lose your binoculars. 
81.8Bionic CommandoORIENT::RAINVILLEWed Jan 02 1991 14:0721
    
    
    
    		This is in reference to note (81) Bionic Commando.
    
    		In note 81 it mentions a Flak Jacket, where can you
    
    		find this jacket? also the binoculars? According to
    
    		a previous note if you enter (using the second controller)
    
    		Left 3x  B 2x  A 4x  Right 1x you will start out with the
    
    		binoculars but I have been unsuccesful. Has anyone been
    
    		able to get this to work?  I just picked up this game at
    
    		Toys R Us for 19.98  great game, well worth the money.

	RE: -1

	I think you might be getting this game (COMMANDO) confused
	with Bionic Commando.  Check note 178 for Bionic Commando
	hints.
