Lesson plan

Iron Commando

Iron Commando is a 1995 beat 'em up video game developed by French developer Arcade Zone for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was scheduled to be released in Europe by Sony Electronic Publishing (who also published Arcade Zone's previous title, Legend) sometime between 1994 and 1995, but was cancelled after Sony discontinued its third-party publishing business on the Super NES in order to focus on the PlayStation, leaving the title orphaned without a publisher. A Japanese localization was released by Pack-In-Video's Poppo subsidiary on February 10, 1995. Piko Interactive ended up acquiring the international publishing rights to Iron Commando, initially releasing the game digitally on Steam in 2016, before eventually producing a reproduction cartridge for the Super NES in 2017. BlazePro also produced a reproduction cartridge for the Super Famicom version for the Japanese market during the same year.
