Super Cobra is a horizontal scrolling shooter released for the Atari 2600 in 1981 by Parker Brothers, originally developed by Konami for arcades. You pilot a helicopter through hostile terrain, dodging or destroying anti-aircraft fire, rockets, and tanks.

How to play

Your objective is to survive 11 increasingly difficult zones to reach and carry away the booty at the end of the game. Your helicopter constantly consumes fuel, which you must replenish by bombing or shooting fuel tanks along the way.

Tips

Watch your fuel gauge at the bottom of the screen; prioritize destroying fuel tanks even if it means ignoring enemies.
Don’t fly too fast in tight caverns; carefully thread your way through the narrow passages to avoid crashing into the walls.
