Summary

In single-player mode, the player manages a G.I. Joe training base at the bottom of the screen, defended by a protective barrier and equipped with two laser cannons. The objective is to prevent the massive Cobra-controlled robot snake from breaking through the shield and destroying the base by hitting it eight times. The Cobra robot attacks with venom and laser fire. In two-player co-op mode, control of the G.I. Joe training base is shared between two players as they team up to take down the Cobra robot. In the two-player versus mode, one player takes control of the Cobra robot while the other defends the training base. Cobra Strike was the first video game to feature the G.I. Joe franchise. The U.K. edition of the game was retitled Action Man: Action Force.

Storyline

The Action Force training camp is under attack by a massive Cobra Combat Machine created by the sinister Baron Ironblood. As the towering Cobra casts its shadow over the base, the Action Force recruits rush for cover to escape its scorching venom and devastating laser fire. Take your posts! Stand your ground! Deploy missile strike cannons and atomic-energy shields to battle the lethal Cobra.
