Yeah, I'll get some screenshots soon.. Commander's gameplay is 100% Contra, same weapons, same somersault jump, everything. the first level's graphics are mostly ripped straight from Contra 3 (although theres a helicopter from Metal Slug in there too). the sound effects are basically the same, and the music sounds like a 5 second loop of some kind of cover of the first level music from Contra 1, not sure if thats ripped from any legit Contra game.[/quote]I know I've seen a video of Commander on one of the YouTube video reviews of a Waixing Wii-knockoff, but I can't remember which one it was.
Incidentally, it's also been released on some of their Wii knockoffs under the title "Super X Man". Which is still read out loud on the title screen of "Commander". Great quality control there, Waixing.
Edit: Here it is-- noel0083's review of the iSports (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJt-FIk7RmA#t=1m45s).
Edit: And another one: popeye190's review of the same (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7aL6C0DlIM#t=4m55s).
Do you know where there might be a video of the Super X Man version of it? Or is the title screen still the same, just it's called Super X Man in the menu?
Also, Cheetahmen, would you be able to send screenshots of the scrolling shooter which has Contra graphics? Even mobile phone captures would be ok.

I also like how the portraits on the Select Player screen are taken from Contra: Hard Corps. Also, isn't the opening music taken from Ninja Gaiden or something?
Thanks.
But damnit, I wish I knew the name of that clone system, so I can get one of those!

Also, I'm wondering what that Super Fighter game is. I think it's a fighting game but I could be wrong about that.
Edit: I found this other iSport (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Plug-n-Play-iSport-TV-Interactive-Game-Console-Set-/180586064141?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a0bc4a90d) on eBay which ships worldwide and it includes Commander on there.
Thanks for those links. Now, I just gotta find a copy on Ebay that has the Super X Man (I'm planning on scoring the one with Commander already).
screens of Contra 7 btw:

& the original Heavy Barrel for comparison

the only in-game change seems to be that you have 5 lives now instead of 2.
Thanks, man!
Holy crap, now I really do feel that I need a ROM dump of that :)
There is also a Contra 8 for NES/Famicom which is an Isolated Warrior hack.
Here's super contra 5
