Cobra Triangle is an isometric vehicular combat and racing game developed by Rare and published for the NES in 1989. Instead of traditional driving, you pilot a heavily armed speedboat through varied stagesโranging from high-speed river races and bomb-defusal missions to rescuing stranded swimmers and battling giant sea monsters.
How to play
Steer your speedboat and manage acceleration using the D-pad. Press A to fire your weapons and B to activate power-ups. The game features an upgrade system where collecting pods advances a meter at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to lock in upgrades like increased speed, missiles, or a force field.
Tips
- Choose upgrades wisely: Since power-up pods cycle your upgrade meter, don’t just blindly activate them. Save up for the force field or missiles if you are struggling with a specific boss or combat section.
- Defusing mines: When tasked with moving bombs out of the safe zone, nudge them gently. Ramming them at full speed will cause you to lose control of your boat.
- Guard the swimmers: During the rescue levels, position your boat centrally to quickly intercept enemy vessels attempting to drag the swimmers off-screen.
