Bionic Commandos, with an "s" at the end that sets it apart from the official title, corresponds to a modified, unofficial version of the Bionic Commando Capcom released in 1987, the run and gun where the protagonist lacks a jump but has an extendable bionic arm to swing between platforms and reach otherwise inaccessible areas, while rescuing hostages in a covert-war setting.
As usually happens with this kind of altered version, it's worth distinguishing it from Capcom's original; the real appeal remains the bionic arm's movement design, one of the most original design ideas in the late-80s arcade catalog.
