Cobra: Kokuryū Ō no Densetsu
Based on an original manga and anime series, this is a Japan-only release of
the first part of space pirate Cobra’s story, the second part being The Space
Adventure.
Cobra is a brave renegade space pirate who fights the evil Pirate Guild and
helps innocent people, cruising from planet to planet in his spaceship, aided
by his trusty companion, the cyborg girl Lady. The adventure starts on a space
station near the planet Eldo. The ancient civilization of this planet has long
been destroyed, but the unusually beautiful light that surrounds the place
attracts tourists from all over the galaxy. Cobra notices that a suspicious
man watches his every step. Before long he realizes that his ship is under
attack. Who is after Cobra? Will he be able to survive? That’s what you have
to find out!
Cobra is a Japanese-style adventure. You select commands from a menu (such
as “Look”, “Talk”, etc.), thus interacting with people and objects. In certain
places you can also move your character, viewed from third person perspective.
Being one of the first games to use CD ROM format, “Cobra” features anime-
style cutscenes as well as voice-overs for some dialogues.
