Super Cobra is a 1981 horizontally-scrolling shooter, arcade game. It was developed by Konami as the sequel to the popular Scramble, and manufactured and distributed by Stern.
Description The 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. Legacy The game is identical in concept to its predecessor, Scramble, but is much more difficult. The player encounters obnoxiously tight caverns almost immediately, and the slightest misstep will result in the loss of a life. The game was also made for the Atari 2600 console. It was also released for the MSX in 1983. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
