The Story Behind Time Commando
Here is where Time Commando came from and how it reached the Sony PlayStation.
These eras are Prehistoric (featuring cavemen, saber tooth tigers, and cave bears), Roman Empire, Feudal Japan, Medieval, Conquistador, Wild West, Modern Wars (World War I and supposedly World War III), Future (Stanley's era), and finally, inside the main computer (Virus World), culminating in a showdown with the virus itself. The music soundtrack was composed by Philippe Vachey.The PC CD contains two audio tracks: Work began on Time Commando with a focus on graphics but no planning on the actual gameplay. Because of this, they decided to create a "quick, small, simple game" to secure a Christmas release.
It was originally released for the PC on 31 July 1996 in Europe, the United States and Brazil, and was later ported for PlayStation and released on 30 September 1996 in Europe and the United States, and on 15 November 1996 in Japan.

Why Players Still Load It Up
Time Commando is a retro game that Sony PlayStation players still load up; the reviews and rankings below say why.
GameSpot also mentioned problems with the controls and animation but were otherwise more positive, summarizing that "Time Commandos stunning 3-D graphics and innovative gameplay bring action and adventure on the PlayStation to dizzying heights." Atomic Dawg of GamePro actually praised the controls, but agreed that "the overall visual impact is diminished by pokey, lame-looking basic moves." His main criticism was how slowly the game moves whenever the player is not in a fight, and he concluded Time Commando to be an essentially good game that players would need an unusually high amount of patience to enjoy. A Next Generation critic said in a brief review that "It looks good, but it's repetitive, the control is twitchy, and it never quite takes off."
