Lost In Translation/Bionic Commando

About The Game
Bionic Commando has the player take on the role of 'Super Joe', an elite Commando who is equipped with a bionic arm; an ingenious device that acts as an advanced grappling hook and must be used to traverse the many platforms and ledges that make up the game's levels. The arm can also be used to destroy the enemies that populate the levels, as well as to retrieve bonuses and weapons that are occasionally dropped by parachute.

Trivia
