A PS1 port of the Capcom arcade beat'em up featuring Captain Commando and his team. Sprites faithful to the cabinet, flashy attacks, effective local co-op. Decent conversion but technically inferior to the Saturn release or later Capcom Classics compilations.

Collector interest

A Japanese port of Capcom's arcade beat'em up, the PS1 Captain Commando saw only an NTSC-J release and never reached the West, hence its high import standing. A competent conversion, though technically outdone by the Saturn version and later Capcom Classics compilations. Pursued mainly by completists of Capcom's 32-bit arcade catalogue rather than for the game itself.

Is Captain Commando still worth playing in 2026?

A PlayStation port of Capcom's arcade beat 'em up, Captain Commando sends a quartet of futuristic heroes to clean up a metropolis infested with criminals, with big sprites, pick up weapons and pilotable mechs. The cabinet's energy, the pulp humour and the multiplayer fun stay intact, despite loading times and a certain repetition typical of the genre. A solid conversion to recommend for fans of retro brawlers and of Capcom's arcade catalogue to enjoy in co-op.
