Cobra Mission: Panic in Cobra City was an MS-DOS computer game published in 1992 in North America by the now defunct company Megatech Software. This was the first hentai game released in English and proved to be very popular.
Plot
The story takes place on a small, fictitious island off the coast of Florida. The main character is Jr. (although the player may change their name). Right off the boat he spies on a nude beach and is quickly attacked by some of the island's punks. Jr quickly dispatches them through with the use of his gun. After which he meets up with his friend and high school sweetheart Faythe Watson who tells him that guns are illegal on the island. Faythe tell him the story of how girls on the island are disappearing at a rapid rate and the mob boss of the island Kaiser is believed to be the one causing it. Jr makes it his job to find and stop whomever is causing the girls to disappear.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Cobra Mission was a simple point and click interface. The fighting system would display an image of a character that was attacking and the player had the opportunity to attack them in a particular part of their body. Each character would have some part of their body that was vulnerable and this would cause greater damage than a regular hit. Japanese version of this game used turn-based menu-style combat.
A similar system was used for the game's numerous sex scenes. There were a total of five interactive sex scenes (and four non-interactive ones) in which the player would choose an item to use (hands, lips, etc..) and click on a part of the girl's body, and this would cause her pleasure meter to either increase or decrease. If the player made too many mistakes, then the girl would get upset and leave. If the player filled her meter, then they would be able to finish the sex scene successfully.
Release
Because this was the first eroge ever released in North America and the first in English, it garnered attention from the small anime community at the time. However, the release itself had many problems in localization in terms of translation and dialog. Metaphors for genitals were used for virtually every sex scene and misspellings and bad grammar were very common.
