+therealbountybob Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Super Cobra Classic Horizontal Shooter... not played this one much and it's never been played in the HSC before so let's hope it's good Comments from Atarimania: Daniel Thomas MacInnes - 09/05/2011 Tail of Beta Lyrae just smashed this game to atoms. That said, it's a very solid arcade conversion of Super Cobra, not outstanding but very solid and challenging for fans of shooters. Gruppenfuhrer WOLF - 15/09/2010 Super Cobra ruled! John - 08/05/2010 This is a great game - one of the few that actually had continues which enabled me to beat it (both today and 20 years ago) Download the game here: atarimania: instructions and ROM atarionline.pl ATR and XEX fandal XEX GAME FINISHES SUN 27th May 10am BST If anyone wants to join in please do, if you need any help at all just ask trbb No using the continues so press Start (F2) instead of fire to replay and no autofire!!! [edit] 1 bonus HSC point for anyone completing two rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Had a couple of goes 12,400 After each go please press START (F2) so you don't use the continues. No autofire either If you are an emulator user and outside the top 10 for the season (see current standings) you may play on PAL if you find NTSC too tough (yes Mr.Case I'm looking at you!)

Somehow it got stuck in my 65xe box with some other stuff. Anyways, I played both this morning. Gameplay is identical, though 5200 seems to have a faster rate of fire.

I think this one could turn into a test of trigger finger stamina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sadly the second run through is the same as the first. There are no bonus lives in this one so that keeps the difficultly level up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no bonus lives in this one so that keeps the difficultly level up though Good Info No extra lives is a plus - several games (pooyan) are spoiled by this.... this is a shortish round so players can relax before things get serious in round 9 (i'm busy holding a meeting in the HSC executive planning office) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caco Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 10 000 miles cleared. After, the game is looped back. You might need to shoot down the green boxes with dollar signs. I did not succeed. Level is easy. I think you can just play forever and earn a huge number of points sorry for my English ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to collect the box with the dollar sign on, if you don't you just keep replaying that section. If you manage to collect the box the game restarts from the beginning NEW RULE for people like Caco. NO camping on the last level and building up your points .

McKong Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It's a game where it's very easy to make silly mistakes. Once you know each section none of it is that difficult but it's still very easy to lose lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
