Gameplay

Scramble Cobra is a 32-bit game in which the player pilots a Bell AH-1 Cobra on 10 missions, and the game features three difficulty settings. The main plot of the game is about the invasion of K by the empire of R. Each mission has a time limit of 8 minutes, so if you were to complete them all in 1 try, it would take almost an hour to finish the game.

Reception

According to Famitsu, Scramble Cobra sold a total of nearly 9,000 copies in Japan. Next Generation reviewed the 3DO version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "you have an overall experience that isn't even bad enough to be painful, just dull." Retrovideogamer rated the game 4/10, saying "Boring, shallow gameplay and poor presentation mean Scramble Cobra is one to miss."
