Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
This is no relation to the Laserdisc game released in 1984, save for the fact both games focus on piloting a heavily armed attack chopper and blowing stuff up.
Cobra Command 1988 is a much more straightforward, and some might say overly-formulaic shoot 'em up that bares many similarities with Tecmo's Silkworm, but I was pleasantly surprised by the game. It's none-stop blasting action, with plenty of enemies on-screen, oversized end-of-level bosses, plus an extensive arsenal of weaponry and power-ups on hand. You can launch barrages of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles as fast you can hammer the attack buttons, and there's even an R-Type-esque charge-up beam to deal with heavily armoured foes.
Cobra Command is unadulterated shoot 'em up fun - perhaps not the best looking or most memorable, but it's a solid all-round title; go check it out!
