Cyber Commando is an action game released by Namco Limited (current Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1994.

Board your vehicle and fight to stop a security computer malfunction that has broken out in a space colony.

The thrill of locking on and slamming missiles into a split-second opening—combined with diverse strategies unique to each vehicle—accelerates this ultimate one-on-one battle!

The Arcade Archives series is developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing classic arcade games, staying true to its original.

In “Original Mode,” you’ll find a variety of convenient features that make revisiting these classic titles even more enjoyable. These include difficulty and display settings, button remapping, rapid-fire options, the ability to create multiple save files at any time, and even a rewind function to undo your last move. Some titles also offer special settings that recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day. In addition, in “Hi Score Mode” and “Caravan Mode,” you can compete for the best scores with players around the world through Online Rankings.

Arcade Archives 2 series introduces a brand-new mode called “Time Attack Mode,” in addition to the “Original Mode,” “Hi Score Mode,” and “Caravan Mode” from Arcade Archives. “Time Attack Mode” focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve.

What’s more, with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support, the gameplay can be reproduced even more accurately, closer to the original arcade experience.

Please enjoy these iconic arcade games that defined an era with the Arcade Archives series!
