Was hooked on these when they first came out. Bought 
I always sucked at commandos 
Although that may have been because i was ten
I could do the missions and finish the games but always in a "you massacred every single Nazi in some hideous drawn out ambush/kings of the hill style attack then destroyed the objectives at leisure while your spy pranced about in a Gestapo uniform" style affair
Sort of like i finished the later missions in hit man with a minigun.

Lol, me too. Loved the game but was a bit too young to get the point of it

LMAO.
That's me to a TEE. I always used to dump a german body in plain sight of some guards, wait for them to come around the corner and then pistol the lot of them.
Actually same with hitman as well, I remember one mission I had to kill some guys at a meeting then make it look like a triad killing. After blowing the guys through a plate glass window with a combat shotgun and then gunning down the police I remembered to go back and place the triad gang symbol on the corpse. Always made me chuckle

Someone let me now how this runs on Windows 7 
And were 2 and 3 as good? I only played the original + add on.

On that note, i wish Steam had Cannon Fodder on it

Spent far too many hours on the first game - am sorely tempted to relive those times!

Tbh I was hugely disappointed with 3. They removed a bunch of characters and put time limits on missions, which I found annoying because I like to take my time.
I can't decide whether I like 1 or 2 better. 1 has like nearly 30 missions, which is awesome and kinda makes you think a bit more because they limit each commando's abilities to very select things. 2 has less missions, I think 12 or so + small bonus missions, but they're super awesome and there's tonnes of ways to complete them, but due to each guy having overlapping skills it's makes some of them redundant. I did pretty much every mission just using the Green Beret and the Thief, and only used the Sapper for when I needed bombs, Marine for underwater/range stealth kills (Throwing Knife) and the Driver for bugger all (He was the weapons expert in the first but now everyone can pick up and use enemy rifles/machineguns, just not quite as good with them).
Still, 2 remains one of my all time favourite games (I had a broken arm when I bought it and it lasted me until my cast came off) and is worth £5 on it's own.

just got this, haven't played them in about 7/8 years or something - never completed the first two, and never tried the third. don't like the sound of the time limits as mentioned above...
haha, nostalgia from the intro and briefings!!

I've only played #2, and it's an amazing game.
You get the feel that it was made by a very small team (and a damn good one) of developers, the voice acting is great rubbish foreign accents for some people in the game. All adds to the fun of it
