Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines is a stealth real-time tactics game developed by Pyro Studios set in wartime Europe and North Africa. The game consists of 20 levels of increasing difficulty in which the player must control a number of individual commandos to complete various objectives (usually sabotage, assassination or rescue). Additionally, each level has a unique password so that the player can return and replay any completed level later.

Notes

There are some important issues with Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines. Due to its age, most modern PCs will run the game impossibly quickly, making it difficult to play, but both Steam and GOG version have been patched.

See the article here: Fixing Commandos for solutions to make the game playable.
