NES Port
The NES port of Cobra Command, which was released the same year as the arcade game, is slightly similar; however, unlike the arcade game, the NES version does not scroll automatically, and its gameplay is similar to Choplifter as the main goal for each level is to rescue all of the hostages. Also, throughout the game, the player's helicopter can be upgraded by landing in certain areas.
A port of Cobra Command was announced to be released on the Retro-Bit Super Retro Cade.[4]
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed the game on their October 15, 1988 issue as being the sixth most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as Forgotten Worlds.[5]
