Bionic Commando-Invincible Commander???

[rbudrick]

Hi Folks,

I remember back in a very early issue of Nintendo Power there was a Counselor's Corner Tip about how to defeat an invincible commander in one of the overhead scenes. Basically, they said you had to just go around him. I have never, ever seen this happen and I don't even know how many times I've gone through that game!

Anyone know what I'm talking about or has anyone experienced this before?

Yours,
Rob

Yeah, and it's dumb. In the Overhead 'meet with enemy and descend' levels, at the end of the level where the truck is waiting for you, if a regular soldier is standing on the truck graphic, then you can't shoot him. Of course if you get too close to the truck graphic you just automatically walk in and complete the level.

Anotherfluke...do you mean the trucks that you shoot to give you a set of continue wings? Or are you talking about the bungker looking white thing at the end? Can the invinsible baddy move? Is he stuck in a backgound tile or something?

I'm talking about the truck at the end of the level. He's just one of the grunts that randomly run around in the level, in fact he can be any of the grunts that happen to be standing/randomly running around in the same area as the truck graphic. If you've ended a level and walked right through one of the guys after the game puts your guy on 'autopilot', then you've met one of the 'invincible' baddies in NP.

Pretty anti-climactic, ain't it?

Hmmm, I guess I've never seen a guy standing over the truck graphic before. I never even knew it was a truck. I always thought it was just some dumb door at the end of the level.

I can't believe NP had a section devoted to that this issue...sigh...
