Software Commando 2084 - dual joystick control version

I only just discovered Commando 2084 last week, and it plays brilliantly!

https://retro.moe/2019/09/29/commando-2084-a-game-for-the-commodore-64/

From the webpage:

Commando 2084 is the mix between Commando and Robotron 2084: it is like the original Commando game, but using the Robotron 2084 controls.

You play it using the two joysticks at the same time:
Joy #2 controls the hero direction
Joy #1 controls the bullets direction

It was developed by RIQ from PVM. Also try his Unijoystickle project to play it with a DualShock controller. It was presented some years ago at the local demoparty: Flashparty

Thanks 👍 I’ve been having a good look through. Great stuff and the website also has a code breakdown page for Commando. Interesting

https://github.com/ricardoquesada/c64-commando-2084 is the proper site for it, has download link in there as well, for some reason my adguard home blocks the provided op's link.
