Another Odyssey^2 game has found it's way to my home.

I can hear my millions of readers asking, "Didn't you have them all?"

And I'm like, "Nope, still searching for Atlantis."

"Oh, so you found Atlantis?"

"No, I got a Super Cobra."

I've been causally keeping an eye out for good deals on O2 stuff from other regions. It's not a big concern but there are a few exclusives and the art is very different from none-US games.

Super Cobra is one of the games which never made it to the US (or Japan) on the Odyssey 2. It only came out in Europe and Brazil. There is a different variation for both of those regions. The game came out in 1983 and is supposedly rare, I don't know if it is actually rare in Brazil or it's just that American collectors think of it being rare.

The game play is a side scrolling shmup. Here's a short video I found:


As you can see, it looks exactly like Gradius.


For some reason ebay doesn't seem to track the game quite right. If you search for old listings they don't always show up. Therefore, Price Charting doesn't list old prices right.

At the moment Price Charting lists it as worth $51. That's actually about right for the game, loose. CIB it goes for most of $80 or so. There have been a few auctions I've watched over the last few months and the game gets several bids, I don't remember seeing it go for less than $50 in any condition.

I saw mine shortly after it was listed with a 'buy it now' of $15
