How to Play Cabal
Quick start
Fire in short bursts, then move before enemy shots reach the foreground. Learn the roll immediately and save grenades for tanks, bosses or dense groups. Cover is destructible, so never treat it as permanent safety.
Controls
The D-pad moves the crosshair; Left/Right also moves the soldier. Hold B+Left/Right to run or B+Down+Left/Right to roll. A fires; hold A with Left/Right to move only the crosshair. Press A+Up together to throw a grenade.
Cabal — About this game
Cabal for NES is a behind-the-soldier shooting game spanning five levels of four scenes. One or two commandos aim into the background while dodging soldiers, tanks, helicopters and bombers. Firing fixes the soldier in place, so success depends on alternating short bursts with movement, preserving temporary cover, and saving limited grenades for armored threats.
