🎮 Play Cobra Command World Revision 5 Online (Arcade)

Cobra Command (World Revision 5) is a classic side-scrolling shoot ’em up released for the arcade by Data East in 1988. Distinct from the 1984 interactive laserdisc game of the same name, this traditional 2D shooter puts you in the cockpit of the LX-3 Super Cobra attack helicopter. Your mission is to fly through six intense stages—ranging from Sumatra to a heavily fortified enemy headquarters—destroying enemy artillery, jets, and warships while rescuing hostages.

How to Play

The objective is to survive the non-stop blasting action, clear each stage of enemy forces, and defeat the oversized boss waiting at the end. Since this is an arcade title running in the browser, use Shift (or 5) to insert a coin and Enter (or 1) to start. Use the Arrow Keys to maneuver your helicopter, and use Z and X to fire your primary weapons and missiles.

Tips

• Use the Charge Attack: Your helicopter is equipped with a powerful charge-up beam. Hold your fire button to charge it up and unleash it on heavily armored enemies and bosses.
• Rescue Hostages: Keep an eye out for hostages on the ground. Rescuing them rewards you with crucial power-ups to upgrade your guns, missiles, armor, and engines.
• Stay Upgraded: The screen can quickly fill with enemy fire. Collecting armor and weapon upgrades early on is vital for surviving the later, more difficult stages.
