The Intellivision console has a very good conversion of Konami‘s arcade hit Super Cobra, courtesy of Parker Brothers.

Graphically, it is a little on the chunky side, but is colourful and reasonably smooth-moving, so that is forgivable.

Super Cobra is basically a clone of Scramble, except with you flying a helicopter and not a space ship. You can shoot forward and drop bombs below, just like in Scramble.

This conversion doesn’t seem to have the directional rockets of the arcade original – the rockets in this just fly up vertically.

Super Cobra is a decent side-scrolling shooter on the Intellivision.
