▲'''Cabal''' is a 1988 [[Arcade Game]] developed by TAD Corporation. In this game, the player controls a commando, [[Third-Person Shooter|viewed from behind]], trying to destroy various enemy military bases. Two players could play this game, cooperatively, simultaneously.
The player's character is seen from behind and initially starts behind a protective wall. The player has a [[Bottomless Magazines|limitless ammunition gun]] and a limited number of grenades. An enemy gauge at the bottom of the screen depletes as foes are destroyed and certain structures are brought down. Once it is depleted, you beat the level. All the remaining buildings onscreen collapse and the player progresses to the next stage while doing a rather... odd-looking [[Victory Dance]] while running.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
The arcade cabinet has a trackball to move the player from side to side, and move the crosshairs about the screen. With a trackball, rolling is done by pushing the trackball to maximum speed.
This game was ported to the [[NES]] by [[Rare]]. It also spawned a [[Spiritual Sequel]], ''[[Blood Bros.]]'' (which is pretty much ''Cabal'' in the [[Wild West]]). See also ''[[Wild Guns]]'' for the SNES, which is pretty much [[Blood Bros.]] [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]].
{{tropelist|page=Cabal}}
* [[Airborne Mook]]: Helicopters and bomber planes. The first boss is also one.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The final Boss. It was [http://arcade.svatopluk.com/cabal/cabal_20.png this building] with [[Cores and Turrets Boss|many turrets popping out of the ground]]. In the Arcade version, the weak point was the building, however, the NES version makes you go for the turrets instead.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Throw Down the Bomblet]]: You have a limited amount of grenades which you can use on the enemy.
* [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]]: Subverted. By doing a combat roll, you become immune to attacks! Unfortunately, white-uniformed soldiers have the same thing in mind too...
* [[Ur Example]]: There's a reason why many games such as ''[[Blood Bros.]]'', ''Devastators'', ''Nam1975'', ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' (arcade), ''[[Wild Guns]]'', ''[[Sin and Punishment]]'' and ''[[Zombie Panic in Wonderland]]'' are known as "''Cabal'' Clones" (although the last three and ''improve'' it).
* [[Vehicular Assault]]: The first three bosses, a helicopter, a submarine, and a truck.
* [[Victory Dance]]: You character combines this with a really girly-looking run and girly-sounding music once he beats a level.
