Cobra Command

About

Fly a helicopter through iconic locations in this 1984 arcade shooter. Cobra Command casts you as a pilot battling terrorists across New York City streets, the Statue of Liberty, the Atlantic Ocean, Italy, the Grand Canyon, and Easter Island. Maneuver your LX-3 Super Cobra, firing missiles and machine guns to destroy enemy forces while navigating tight urban spaces and open seas. The split screen co-op mode lets two players share controls for added chaos. The game’s straightforward mission design and varied environments made it a staple in arcades during its time. Though dated by today’s standards, its fast-paced action and recognizable landmarks gave it a distinct identity. Available on Sega CD and other platforms later, it preserved the original’s chaotic energy. Older systems like the Sharp X1 and MSX managed to run it surprisingly well, keeping the free world-saving antics alive for niche audiences.
