Bionic Commando is a GameBoy game that follows the story of Rad Spencer, a soldier with a bionic arm. His mission is to find Super Joe, destroy Doraize army bases, and stop Weisman's Albatross project.
The gameplay involves navigating through levels using Rad Spencer's grappling hook, which allows him to latch onto objects and propel himself towards them. He must also collect bullets to increase his life bar and explore neutral zones with generator bosses. Upgrades can be obtained in communication rooms, adding new weapons and abilities to the player's arsenal.
