Super Cobra
Atari 2600 · 1983
About this game
Super Cobra is a side-scrolling shooter sharing a lot of similarities with its predecessor Scramble .
The player is a chopper pilot on a surveillance mission in enemy territory; their goal is to make it through the various obstacle courses alive and score as many points as possible.

Tall buildings, mountains, narrow tunnels, and various enemies (such as tanks, rockets, mines, and more) can all get in the way and destroy the chopper.
To help defend itself, the chopper is armed with a machine gun and bombs which can be used to destroy the enemy tanks and rockets.
To make the task more difficult, the chopper has a limited amount of fuel.
Throughout the landscapes are fuel tanks; if one of these is shot or bombed, extra fuel will be awarded.
As the levels progress, the enemies become more aggressive, fuel becomes more scarce, and the landscape becomes trickier to navigate.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Super Cobra for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Super Cobra to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1983.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Super Cobra, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Atari 2600 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
