Suburban Commando Overview
Suburban Commando is a DOS game from 1993 by Alternative Software, based on the 1991 film starring Hulk Hogan. The gameplay combines several distinct genres into a single experience.
Players control an intergalactic hero, a comic-style representation of Hogan, who crash-lands on Earth. The action shifts between a horizontal space shooter segment, platforming levels requiring item collection, and boss fights presented as one-on-one combat encounters. Enemies are dealt with through shooting, kicks, and jumps.
The connection to its film source material is minimal. Beyond the protagonist's likeness, no other characters from the movie appear. The game follows the film's premise loosely, focusing on the hero battling adversaries across different gameplay styles rather than recreating specific plot details.
