Bionic Commando Bionic Commando is a game released by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The main character, Radd (or Ladd) Spencer, is a commando with a bionic arm which can grab onto surfaces, allowing him to swing. The game is notable for being one of few platform games in which the player cannot jump. The original Japanese version of Bionic Commando (called Hitler no Fukkatsu: Top Secret (The Ressurection of Hitler: Top Secret)) had the main character fight Nazis and the final boss was Adolf Hitler who has been ressurected (see original cover art http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Famiver.jpg). All references to Nazism were removed from the American release: the swastikas were replaced by black eagle figures, and the name of the enemies was changed from "Nazis" to "Badds". Still, though the final boss's name was changed to "Master-D", he still clearly resembles Hitler. Gameplay and Controls Bionic Commando's hero sports a gun with one hand and a bionic latch device on the other. His bionic arm can be extended in 45-degree increments, from horizontally left to directly upwards to horizontally right. Once attached to something, Radd can pull himself to wherever the arm has latched, typically leaving him swinging back and forth under the point of connection. From this position, he can swing off or hoist himself up to the point of connection. Radd's bionic arm can also deflect some types of bullets, and he can duck as well. The game, a classic, has recently been converted for Game Boy Advance. Memorable quotes - "What, you're going to fight against me? You damn fool." - Master-D (Adolf Hitler)
- "Your number's up, monster!" - Radd
- "Freddy? You got lord with me?" - Donny
