[AMSTRAD CPC] Stallone Cobra – Longplay & Review
Xyphoe
Cobra Stallone on the Amstrad CPC – review and longplay/walkthrough!
Movie licence time! This is one of Ocean Software’s earlier attempts, and it’s not too bad but not without it’s flaws. Run ‘n’ gun shoot-em-up … which like the movie itself – is pretty run-of-the-mill.
Crap and laggy controls really let this game down, and the poor attempts at ‘humour’ (obviously trying to steal from Jonathan Smith’s truly excellent Spectrum version) make it look further stupid. However it’s still fun for 30 minutes, and some nice touches here and there. Ultimately though it’s too frustrating and annoying for any long term enjoyment.
