1994 Namco Arcade Shooter Gets First Ever Home Release via Arcade Archives


This week’s release in Hamster Corporation’s Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 lines of emulated coin-op titles is Cyber Commando, which is a Namco arcade shooter from 1994 that hasn’t previously received a release on home formats, despite hitting arcades more than 30 years ago.

The release of Cyber Commando follows last week’s release of SNK’s brawler Street Smart, on which we reported previously.

Cyber Commando has been described by Hamster Corporation as follows: “Board your vehicle and fight to stop a security computer malfunction that has broken out in a space colony.
The thrill of locking on and slamming missiles into a split-second opening—combined with diverse strategies unique to each vehicle—accelerates this ultimate one-on-one battle!”

The Arcade Archives version of Cyber Commando was released today (30th April 2026), on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, priced at $14.99 USD or local equivalent.

Meanwhile, the Arcade Archives 2 version of Cyber Commando, which adds a new “Time Attack” mode to the game, was released on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $16.99 USD or local equivalent.

As usual, those who buy the Arcade Archives version of the game on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the Arcade Archives 2 version on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation 5 respectively, for $2.99 USD or local equivalent.

I'm a retro gamer and writer who writes about video games for online and print outlets. My love of gaming began way back in 1986 with the ZX Spectrum, before becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan in 1990 with the Game Boy. And although I keep up with modern gaming, we all know you can't beat retro classics (or maybe I'm just old!) https://x.com/paultwist
