Classic Game Room reviews COBRA TRIANGLE for the Nintendo Entertainment System from Rare published in 1989! Race boats in a top-down R.C. Pro-Am style racing game mixed with shooting and Gradius power ups. Blast enemies, fight end bosses and fall to your doom in this ambitious but frustrating release for the NES. - Розваги
one of the best under rated NES titles
Gaming Dreamer totally. One of my best friends bought this game when it first came out and I’d never heard anything about it. I played it and got hooked instantly lol. Spent countless hours playing it over and over after borrowing it from him. Hell I didn’t wanna give it back lol. Glad he made me aware of it otherwise I would have never played this amazing game
LOL at the TLC reference. Don't go chasing waterfalls Mark, stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
I always wanted that game when I was a child. But instead my father bought me Mega Man 2... A pretty good deal in fact.
the best game of all time is mega man 2 lol
I beat this game! :)
First waterfall level have a easy trick, it is to wait 1 second after the level start that just press the gas and never let it go... your not gonna miss a jump.
this game is really cool
I used to rent this many times back in the day, and while it was frustrating I really enjoyed playing it!
same
My mom randomly bought me this game. It was good!
Owned this game, was alot of fun
Kenny Jones I still own it. I’ll never part with it!
Only in a video game can waterfalls exist like that
If you think the waterfalls were bad, you haven't seen the iceberg stage!
I loved this game growing up AND I own it now.
Solid indeed!
It's the music when falling down the waterfall that makes it like a kick to the groin. Insult to injury.
The sound the boat makes when it falls off the water fall sounds like the same sound you hear when you fall off a cliff and lose your marble in Marble Madness :D
This is more like Snake Rattle N Roll with boats. That's falling death sound...
i have great memories of this game.... i played this when i was a kid during very hot summer days of 1989 at my friend's basement, after swimming in the pool and eating Mr. Freeze.... GREAT memories.
hah when you fall down the waterfall, it's the same sound effect from marble madness when you fall off the edge.
The graphics and animations in this game are pretty darn impressive!
Of course since it's NES it lacks in the way of colour-count but what they did there with those sorta pre-rendered sprites and smooth animations looks really good!
you can farm power-ups on the first level if you keep getting the 1up.
COBRA TRIANGLE GRIND.
Cobra Battletoads: The Waterfall Mission!
I really enjoyed this game, one of my favs for NES.
The more I played it the better I got with the water falls and whirlpools. Lol!
The boat turning animation is so smooth. If I didn't know better I'd say they used some kind of vector system.
Aww it's a classic. And, one of my all time favorites when young. Got to last boss and died. Like most NES titles, it took practice.
guy driving the boat must hate his life, you can see the boat has a built in helicopter propeller proving he could have just flown over the waterfalls yet he keeps sailing into the abyss.
Uh oh! Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all. I just think you're movin' too fast!
+John Jenkins Gaaaaaaaaaay
Nice name, Adonis!
Need to spend more time with this game, but RC Pro AM on water was exactly my impression.
I loved this game as a kid, seriously one of my real favourite!
Hardest game I ever owned - loved it! Completed it a few times but at the expense of needing therapy for the next 30 years.
Haha Cobra Triangle! I had this as a kid and couldn't even beat it with game genie,
Great game. I think I have this one in my collection or at least I used to.
Don't go chasing waterfalls, stick to the centipedes that you're used to lord carnage
I could never ever beat the crab boss as a kid. Had big problems with the protect the kids also. Ohh the memorys from my childhood :D
i rented this game once, when there was renting to be done.. a few years back i bought this when i went on a binge buying old lost games i loved playing, still really fun, but hard as heck.
one of those titles featured on the NES poster
I grew up with the NES. So how did I miss this gem?
I've always hated the stage were you have to go up a river with spinning logs and whirlpools
You need to review some C64 games, like target renagade and spy hunter
Its good that this game isnt RC Pro AM with boats, because we had Eliminator Boat Duel on NES. How many RC Pro AMs you need with boats anyways?
looks pretty good
This is an awesome game, thank you for reviewing it. How far have you gotten in this?
I love this game.
This is going to be on rare replay coming out aug 4th for xbone
I just bought this randomly in a bulk lot, for some reason I'd assumed this was a vertical shooter like Tiger Heli or something. I didn't even know it was made by Rare. Can't wait til it shows up now! I'm a glutton for Battletoads and Snake Rattle n Roll...
James Dean its an amazing game actually. I’d buy it again if I already didn’t have it
I've played this in the DKC 3 GBA versión, cool game.
Bimini run was crazy hard too.
Amazing game
do we have this to thank for giving us the Turbo Tunnel?
oh shit Cobra Triangle!
I'm still playing this in 2021 😄
the fail/ death music brings back so many pissed off moments of death...and failure, but I remember beating it when I was like 10 and pretty much considering myself a god lol
This game was my child hood Alexay for snes should have worked on my killer instinct combos though
top 5 on the NES easily.
Giant enemy crab!
Finally I'm the first to tell you:
"Fucking Awesome man !"
Yeah I only got to the crab too.. Lol
You serious!? Favorite memory of an nes game that was so fun, but in the same time pissed me off for hours and hours. Such an underrated game. Thanks for the review! Go PENS!
I would have said that RC Pro Am was the prototype, and that this is more like Snake, Rattle & Roll but with different sprites.
Fair play to Rare (an English company), most of their games (including Wizards & Warriors and Donkey Kong Country) had fabulous music!
Waterfall levels kinda remind me of the turbo tunnel on battletoads.
Mark, just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.
I remember that game, I liked it but it was pretty damn hard.
Rare games. They learned ya what you needed to know to handle life.
Oh man I used to love this fucking game
I loved that game. And yes the waterfall level was the worst.
Omg loved this game. This and the hockey one with thin, fat and regular guys.
I owned this game!!
I never played this game, but it looks fun.
Does this game remind you of RC PRO AM? Because I didn’t catch it the first billion times.
If we want to donate a game, do you have a link so we know what you already have? would love to donate a couple things
Anyone else used to get the 1up on the first level, power up, die, repeat? 😂
Oh my! It´s approaching. The day is coming in a week! I don´t want to say goodbye to my cats!
played a lot of this and stinger
I owned this game as a kid. I beat it a few times by the skin of my teeth! It took a hell of a lot of practice! The waterfall levels weren't too hard once you figured them out, but yeah, the game was super hard! If you didn't have the right upgrades at a certain point of the game, you just weren't going to beat it that time. Still loved it though. Played the shit out of it. And it even had battery backup to keep your high scores! Not too many games had battery backup unless it saved your progress. This game did not save progress.
What I would expect from Rare?
Well, when I played their Nightmare on Elm Street game on NES...
"Remember how hard NES games used to be?" That's why you used Game Genie lol
Difficulty meant longevity back then.
Now we have freemium skinner boxes! Ah, the joys of the modern age.
What the hell is it with old rare and racing stages? Battle toads stage 3...
If you thought the waterfalls were hard, wait until you see the iceberg level. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster at 4:35 :)
I had this game. Oh god, it was frustrating to play! I was 9 when I got it and the crab killed me EVERY TIME!
BTW: the waterfall level? Easy.
Giant Enemy Crab o.o
If you played Donkey Kong Country 3 on the Game Boy Advance then you should be pretty familiar with Cobra Triange.
I think we all know that waterfalls, as taught to us by TLC, give you STD's
LOL buffalo,ny live like 10 - 15 min from there
I have this. It does go for a good price. I give it a "D" rating...not a minus...but not a plus...I guess only cause it's Rare
i love these game alot as a kid, but dame it so frustrating hard, i grow soft
I always loved this game. Sure it might be on the tough side, but if you play it enough you figure out the timing and how to get a lot of free 1-Ups.
I'm surprised Mark didn't make a mention of how the one mission stage in Cobra Triangle is a ripoff of Rip-Off. :) That and the races were my favorite parts of CT.
Anyone notice the Marble Madness sound effect also used here when you fall off the waterfall? Rare also programmed the excellent NES port of that as well.
Looks like a great idea, but sounds like it's not a homerun. Excellent review though!
Mark, you should have listened to the lakes and the rivers that you're used to. xD :P
This game is okay.
I loved this game, but man, is it a hard game.
Lots of little brothers around the world were beat up by there older sibling due to this game.
Boat can helicopter to the next stage but has to deal with a bunch of bullshit obstacles with a time limit for no reason.
oh and u have to stop the boats from helping gigant ppl too ! looks like u play as a psycho xD
I had this game before. Hard as shit!
One punch Meme 1 hard but so damn fun once you got good at it lol
Why the name change?
Ugh, I also hated the hostage stage in this game. I just gave up and watched my brother play. One look at the waterfall stage and I knew it was Hell.
Yeah i got pretty far in the game when i was a kid, but yeah took me forever to pass the waterfalls as well... great game though
Don't go chasin'....whirlpools?
Stick to the waterfalls without moving jump ramps..
I see what you did there
That's what happens when you chase waterfalls. Stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're use to next time.
I liked cobra triangle a lot more than RC PRO am. But that’s just me.
Not just the waterfall levels, but quite a few others seem to have that quarter vacuum feel that many of the arcade games of the time had. Like they were deliberately designed to take as many of your lives as possible, somewhat unfairly at times. The most disappointing thing for me was that the game was actually really good when it wasn't trying to actively destroy you. Add in the fact that you only get two continues, and you've effectively taken a game that probably should've been legendary, and turned it into a hot pile of frustrating garbage. The type of nes experience that makes you rage quit and seek out years old reviews to comment on and vent your frustration.
This game just took practice. If you never got good at it as a kid it'll probably be hard now.
