Bionic Commando for Game Boy is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Capcom, released in 1992. The game features the protagonist Rad Spencer, tasked with rescuing his commanding officer and thwarting a robotic supervillain. Players utilize a bionic arm for grappling and swinging, enhancing gameplay with unique mechanics while navigating various levels to defeat enemies and bosses.
The original arcade game was advertised in the United States as a sequel to Commando, going as far to refer to the game's main character as Super Joe (the protagonist of Commando) in the promotional brochure, who was originally an unnamed member of a `special commando unit` in the Japanese and World versions.
