Horrible game of a horrible movie
User Rating: 1.9 | Cobra C64
Cobra, the video game, was a side-scrolling shoot-em-up. That's if you managed to scroll more than 2 inches along the screen to find out before the game beat you. It was simply impossible. So many bad guys came at you at once and you were helpless do to anything about it. Even if you typed in those massive cheat programs ('Pokes'-remember them?) you still couldn't finish the game because the makers didn't program the Night Slasher (the final baddie) to die. So just fought him forever until you pulled the plug. The graphics were alright, the sound was alright, the gameplay was extremely poor and I am puzzled as to how Ocean were not sued by many a disgruntled gamer for unleashing such a poorly programmed travesty on the world. Even their choice of inspiration was dubious as Cobra was a pretty rotten film.
