Commando was a massive smash hit in the arcades and the game that really put the now legendary Capcom on the map and inspired a string of clones and sequels.
It's classic drum driven music is now very well known but the question is which home computer did the best rendition of it?

Its clearly a remix and sounds quite different, the ST version is the most accurate.
However I agree the C64 is the best one (for once!)
