JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Hate this game...! I had a feeling this one was next, so I played it already last week We'll see how it goes though, the 5200 version seems improved over Colecovision ... the plane is a bit big in the small areas but the enemies fire is much less annoying.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Super Cobra - doctorclu 11,200 :thumbsup:I see this one has already fallen. LOL, yeah, was only played once though by 3 people total. hehe The Colecovision Super Cobra had put me through HELL a few weeks ago, but after playing it about "30 times"... it's prepared me well for this 5200 version. Check this score out! My best result, never seen this level before... 30,250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) ^^Nice. I've only gotten to that one on A8 before.^^ In the meantime, I managed: 10,000 Had 2 stupid crashes, so definitely more in the tank yet. This is another game that just doesn't get a chance. Kind of like Frogger. I threw it into the mix for those wanting something different. Everyone else may play along if you wish. Consider it a kind of practice.

I am very glad to see this game come up! it's another one of those games that wouldn't ever win a poll, so I will embrace this opportunity to play this I'm going to start in this straight away when I get home from work!

+DamonicFury Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Great score right out of the gate, Mr. Zu7zu7! I'm having a hell of a time getting past the 'falling asterisks of doom' level. Managed it once, and here was the result... 21,300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 gave it a few tries... alot of room for improvement for sure! 12,350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I'm finding this game really entertaining. Yeah, there's some cheap deaths thanks to the random nature of how the tanks shoot, but overall, this game is a lot of fun! Very nearly got into the final zone... 31,400 Edited January 19, 2012 by sdamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't think I ever played the 5200 version of Super Cobra. I won't have time till Sat or Sun to play it. The coin-op version on Konami Classics is really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so close there... also if you get through this level, then I don't have to suffer trying to beat this score... that level feels impossible! I got to it two more times but my score was in the 26ks... so... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Nice to see this game getting some love here. The controls don't help it, but also don't really hurt the game any IMO. Some further progress, but may not be enough... 15,600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Made it to 2nd flying saucer level. Personal best: 27,350 I'll also extend the round 1hr to not interfere with football. Edited January 22, 2012 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
