Abandonware DOS title

Cabal

If Rambo had a twin brother who preferred hiding behind sandbags and tossing grenades like candy, Cabal would be his biography. This over-the-top shooter puts you in the boots of a one-man army mowing down everything that moves—and quite a few things that don't. You roll, you shoot, you duck, and repeat until your fingers go numb or your keyboard gives up. The screen gets so chaotic it feels like an 80s action movie exploded inside your monitor. Subtle? Not even close. Fun? Absolutely.

Cabal review

Zero Magazine Issue 06: "The idea in not only to shoot everything that moves but also most of the scenery. This renders the opposition "sitting ducks" and often drops goodies to your baseline. Yummy, a super-duper machine gun. Oooh look! Grenades! Just what the international arms dealer ordered. In two player mode, the fun is doubled as it's a case of scrambling for the power-ups. Unfortunately co-operation is the name of the game, since you can't shoot your partner. Shame."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Cabal was followed in 1990 by Blood Bros., though the sequel had a western theme as opposed to Cabal's Vietnam-era theme.
