Cabal

About this game

Cabal is a 1988 shooting gallery video game developed by TAD Corporation and published in Japan by Taito, in North America by Fabtek, and in Europe by Capcom. The player controls a commando trying to destroy various enemy military bases. The game was only a moderate success in arcades, and became better known for its various home ports.

Originating in the arcades, Cabal is a shooter where the protagonist runs back and forth along the bottom of the screen, ducking and dodging bullets and grenades from the enemy. The roll maneuver from the arcade was not implemented in the PC version. The player returns fire by moving a target around the screen which also moves the player character and may expose him to enemy fire.
