About

Super Cobra is a side-scrolling shooter sharing a lot of similarities with its predecessor Scramble.

The player is a chopper pilot on a surveillance mission in enemy territory; their goal is to make it through the various obstacle courses alive and score as many points as possible. Tall buildings, mountains, narrow tunnels, and various enemies (such as tanks, rockets, mines, and more) can all get in the way and destroy the chopper. To help defend itself, the chopper is armed with a machine gun and bombs which can be used to destroy the enemy tanks and rockets. To make the task more difficult, the chopper has a limited amount of fuel. Throughout the landscapes are fuel tanks; if one of these is shot or bombed, extra fuel will be awarded. As the levels progress, the enemies become more aggressive, fuel becomes more scarce, and the landscape becomes trickier to navigate.
