Description

Immerse yourself in the retro world of gaming with Cobra Command, a classic arcade game from 1988. Developed and published by Data East, this side-scrolling shooter game features an armored helicopter navigating through hostile terrains. From the lush landscapes of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo to the maritime challenges of the South China Sea and Siam, each of the six stages unfolds a unique experience. The NES port, also released in 1988, introduces a nuanced gameplay that resembles Choplifter, where the primary objective is to rescue all hostages. The game also allows for strategic upgrades to the player's helicopter, adding an extra layer of excitement. Whether you are a fan of old-school platformers or retro shooters, Cobra Command promises a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of gaming.
