The World Cup is over. Spain won it 1–0.
We compared every match of WC 2026 (104 games) with every match of Qatar 2022 in the PlaymakerAI database.
Four things changed. One of them stole 178 minutes of football from you.
A thread. 🧵
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines (1998) was a brilliant game by Pyro Studios, set in World War II. You command elite Allied soldiers, like a Green Beret, a sniper, or a spy on stealth missions behind Nazi lines. The game allows you to use unique skills for sabotage, assassinations, and escapes while you have to keep in mind the line of sight of enemy forces and patrols.
It sold over 1 million copies and had several sequels. According to Wiki this is also the most successful game series ever made by a Spanish team. It is rather slow paced (which I like), highly tactical and also featuring extremely beautiful graphics with an incredible love and attention to detail. And while most non-German games that include digitized German speech sound like Monty Python, this one had very realistic sound-bits.
Commandoes was one of the games we played in our late 90s LAN sessions, and - unlike a real commando - there were a lot of loud debates on the next (correct) move, some friendly banter, and the occassional "oh shit" moments.
‘There I have you,’ cried Jack. ‘You are bit – you are completely dished. Don’t you know that in the Navy you must always choose the lesser of two weevils? Oh ha, ha, ha, ha!’
