I'm a fan of the QAOP Space config, however when a game (like Commando) requires 2 fire buttons (1 gun & 1 grenade), I prefer the old WSOP Space, with the 2nd fire button nicely configured to the Q key.

Try Harrier Attack, Ground Attack or Penetrator. But I'm not sure.
Or maybe Blue Max, Blackhawk or Xevious?

I beat the scoreboard in Penetrator once.Ie the score got to 999,999 then just went back to 000,000 again.
Very disapointed - I thought I would get flashing screens, fireworks and kiss from a beutiful women.
