  1.  

    BTW, is "cobra" an English word?

    It IS the Portuguese word for snake.

     

     

     

    In English, "cobra" is just one type of snake, from my understanding. A highly venomous one that flares out at the neck like the one in the game. The word isn't used for snakes in general. That's interesting that "cobra" is Portuguese for "snake." I'm not sure the origins of the word for that particular snake in English.

    I'm getting a little better control of the paddles, but the shield can still easily get away from me.

    Bonus:

     

    The horny hero or fireman in Burning Desire vs. the snake in Red Sea Crossing.

    The snake travels to a human sacrifice to strike, not the perpetrators burning the woman alive, but the would-be hero for his ungodly act of indecent exposure (yeah, I know, biblical stories are funny that way). The snake hides in the helicopter and waits for the bare but brave rescuer to drop down from a cable to offer his branch to the woman. The snake slithers down the cable and wraps himself around the well-endowed daredevil and is about to strike when the woman, mistaking the snake for, um, a lifeline, bites its head off.

  3. Congo Bongo (I had this game when I was a kid--well, I still have it, actually. I remember my parents got a kick out of it.)

    King Kong (I've never played this game before. I didn't miss out on much, LOL.)

    Congo Bongo is very unforgiving at times. Jumps have to be precisely executed or you'll take a step and die or jump in a bad direction. King Kong, on the other hand, is very forgiving. Several times I didn't think I cleared a bomb on my jump but the game gave it to me anyway. What's tricky about that game is anticipating whether bombs will drop down ladders and gaps or not.

  4. Have to disagree there. Compare Fanco Columbu's pictures when he lifted in Italy to when he moved to CA. BIG difference. Steroids stack you up in no time if done right.

     

    He was already a bodybuilder, though, right? If so, then he already had those physical gifts. And, if the subject is performance enhancement (i.e. run a 4.3 40 yard dash, throw a ball 100 mpg, slow down a 250 lb pass rusher, hit a baseball 600 feet, etc.), someone off the streets wouldn't be able to do that out of the blue just from taking steroids.
