#47 Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines (Microsoft Windows, 1998)

When it comes to games set during World War II, I think that FPS games in the vein of Call of Duty come to mind first. Commandos is a tactics game in that setting, in which you control up to six different allied commandos in a series of dangerous missions. It's a fun exercise in stealth and strategy and spawned several sequels and imitators that are also pretty good.



Each commando has a unique set of skills and it's game over if you lose one of them. The game is controlled in real time, and sometimes things can get a little frantic. Generally, you can't engage in open combat with the enemies, and have to use stealth or flanking to take people out.

The art in the game is really nice looking for its time, and whenever I see anything that looks like it I experience nostalgia. It also had a really fun/goofy style and atmosphere that made it feel unique. I'm pretty interested in the series reboot that is supposed to be coming up sometime soon; hopefully they can recapture the magic of this series.
