The MilkMan #1 Posted February 27, 2007 I got this over the weekend. I just went and looked at the manual here for additional info and found something interesting. The manual seems to describe that missles are the focus of the game. Even scoring is all about shooting down the missles. But when I played (1 player), missles are an after thought. There were so many paratroppers to deal with, and missles were a ratio of like 1 to every 10 paratroppers falling from planes. Even the screen shots listed here have a black background (but maybe thats 2 player mode which I have not tried yet.) The background when I played was light blue. Lots of planes with paratroopers, and helicopters, very little missles. I have not played this for very long, so maybe all that changes over the course of gameplay. Anyway, just curious as to what other who have played experienced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Man #2 Posted February 27, 2007 It sounds more like you're describing another US Games release Commando Raid. Did they put the wrong game in your cartridge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The MilkMan #3 Posted February 27, 2007 It sounds more like you're describing another US Games release Commando Raid. Did they put the wrong game in your cartridge? No, it doesn't look like that. Hmm, weird. I'll have to play it some more, and try out the 2 player also. The canon and buildings on each side look exactly like the screen shots listed here.

Foxsolo2000 #4 Posted February 27, 2007 Must admit never heard of that. Could be a pirate for the MAD I possess does not have paratroopers of any desciption in it. Could you post pics? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The MilkMan #5 Posted February 27, 2007 ok, I must be on something then. I went home for lunch to try it out. Black screen, nothing but missles and the occational helicopter just like described here. Then I put in Commando Raid just to see. When I played this on Saturday, (I just played it one time to see if the cart worked) it had the same play as Commando Raid, but not a hole in the ground that the canon sat in, and not a rainbow background. It was solid light blue. Sorry everyone, I MUST have put Commando Raid in at some point then. Because I turned it on and off like 20 times maybe thinking it had an alternate game, but I couldn't get the results to happen as I described. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Man #6 Posted February 27, 2007 Send me some of whatever you're taking. Sounds like good stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The MilkMan #7 Posted February 28, 2007 Well I (we) did see something different. Last night I asked my girlfriend to look at both M.A.D. and Commando Raid because she was there with me when I played it Saturday. She agrees. While the play was like Commando Raid, the background was different (not rainbow colors), and the canon was not in that trench/hole place. It was on level ground. Who knows.

shadow460 #8 Posted March 1, 2007 Commando raid, MAD, Quadrun--they're all the same. things just kinda run together when you've been playing too much Atari, I suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
