Buichi Terasawa's manga Cobra, about a cheerful space pirate with a gun built into his left arm, is the basis for this Hudson Soft adventure. It first appeared on the PC Engine CD in Japan in 1991 as a sequel to an earlier, Japan-only Cobra game, and was later brought to the Sega CD in English. Cobra and his partner Lady Armaroid travel between worlds chasing a mystery, with animated scenes and voice acting carrying the story.
Play is menu-driven in much the same way as Snatcher, with commands such as look and talk used to investigate each scene. A wrong choice at certain moments can get Cobra killed, and near the end the game turns to turn-based battles. Cobra's signature Psycho Gun gets plenty of use. Reviews of the Sega CD release were mixed, citing a linear structure and voice acting of uneven quality, but for anime fans it offers a rare English-language version of a well-known 1970s and 80s property.
Tips for The Space Adventure
If a scene seems stuck, repeat the same command; many scenes require choosing an option several times to advance.
Save often, as certain choices lead straight to Cobra's death.
In the final battles, choose attacks carefully rather than repeating the first option.
