TRIVIA

Released in July 1976.

An answer to Atari's Pursuit, Cobra Gunship provided more detail both in-game and on the cabinet, the recessed monitor and light-up control panel creating more of a simulator experience than most other titles had provided up to that point. This was also one of the very first games to employ a yoke controller.

This was Ted Dabney's last game.
