Advanced Military Commander is one of those old-school Sega Genesis war games that makes you feel like a general hunched over a map with too many coffee stains. You start off picking your units—tanks, infantry, the usual—and then it’s all about outmaneuvering the enemy before they flank you. The first few missions ease you in, but don’t get comfortable; by mission three, you’re second-guessing every move.

It’s got that classic grid-based strategy feel, where one wrong move means watching your entire squad get wiped out by artillery. The AI isn’t messing around, either—they’ll punish hesitation. Graphics are what you’d expect from a Genesis title: functional, with just enough detail to tell a tank from a truck. The music? All tense synth beats that somehow make losing feel dramatic.

If you’re into slow, methodical strategy where every decision matters, this one’s a solid time capsule. Just don’t blame me when you restart the same mission five times.
