Code Name: Viper is a 1990 action-platformer for the NES published by Capcom. Playing as special forces operative Kenny Smith, you infiltrate the hideouts of a massive drug syndicate to rescue hostages and take down their leaders. Heavily inspired by arcade classics like Rolling Thunder, the game features a distinct dual-plane level design where you must jump between upper and lower floors to dodge enemies and explore.
How to Play
Your goal in each stage is to locate a captured civilian and the missing agent holding a detonator, which allows you to blow open the exit door and proceed. Along the way, enter other doors to find extra time, health, and a powerful machine gun upgrade to replace your standard pistol.
- Movement: Arrow keys (Press Up or Down while jumping to switch floors)
- Jump: Z
- Shoot: X
- Start: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Ammunition for your pistol is limited, but entering doors marked with bullet icons will refill it.
- Pay attention to the background doors, as syndicate members will frequently step out of them to ambush you.
