Who Dares Wins II – The C64 Sequel Born After Legal Action Over Commando
️ Who Dares Wins II (1985) – Commodore 64 Top-Down Run-and-Gun Action Released in 1985 by Alligata Software, Who Dares Wins II is a vertically scrolling, top-down action game for the Commodore 64 that refines the formula of its predecessor with sharper gameplay and more confident design. You take control of a lone soldier dropped behind enemy lines, tasked with liberating occupied townships one screen at a time. Each area scrolls in a flick-screen style, presenting enemy patrols, fortified positions, and comrades tied to trees who must be rescued before you can move on. You’re armed with an automatic rifle and a limited supply of grenades, making positioning, timing, and precision essential if you want to survive the mission. The game keeps things focused and direct, prioritising responsive controls and readable environments over visual excess.
