Atari 2600 Super Cobra 1982 Parker Bros
4GameplayThe player controls a helicopter and has to guide it across a scrolling terrain, battling obstacles along the way. The ship is armed with a forward-firing weapon and bombs.
The ship has a limited fuel supply, which is depleted over time. More fuel can be acquired by destroying fuel tanks in the game.
The game is divided into ten sections, plus a finale, each with a different style of terrain and different obstacles. There is no intermission between each section; the game simply scrolls into the new terrain. In the finale the player encounters a base where the goal is to capture the treasure, and escape.
[edit] LegacyThe game is identical in concept to its predecessor, Scramble, but is much more difficult. The player encounters tight caverns and high-velocity anti-aircraft machine guns almost immediately, and the slightest misstep will result in the loss of a life. However, unlike Scramble the game can be continued where the player left off by adding more credits.
The game was also made for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Odyssey², Entex Adventure Vision, and Atari 8-bit by Parker Brothers. It was also released for the MSX in 1983.
The Entex version was reviewed in 1982 and well received. Arcade Express gave the game a score of 9 out of 10.[1]
More recently, Super Cobra appeared alongside Scramble on the retro compilation Konami Arcade Classics, released for the Sony PlayStation in 1999.
In Salamander 2, the secondary ship is named the Super Cobra; a new ship that fights alongside the Vic Viper and replaces the Lord British Space Destroyer.
Super Cobra was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs on March 24, 2010.
