Lando, you summed up the C16 Commando games pretty well. Seconded! Especially about Ikari Warriors, it's highly playable, tons of fun. The fact that you can drive the tanks... It's the icing on the cake. One of the true wonders (in terms of what can be squeezed into the memory).
Yeah, it's a weird feeling now that we know more. I have to admit I was wrong, I'm pretty sure I said before that 1942 must have been just a typo. But apparently not: they really did plan to do it and had it contracted out. Pretty sad 
I keep thinking about doing a project and making the game, or a true Plus/4 worthy conversion of it, but that's never going to happen (well, not by me anyway, no time), and even then it just wouldn't be the same.
