Cabal is a 1988 Arcade Game developed by TAD Corporation. In this game, the player controls a member of the secret commando order Lubbock, Freddy (1P) or Johnny (2P). Viewed from behind, you control them as they take out a terrorist order in an unnamed foreign nation. Two players can play this game, cooperatively and simultaneously.The player's character is seen from behind and initially starts behind a protective wall. The player has a gun with unlimited ammunition 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.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 IN SPACE.Is not related in any way to CABAL Online, an MMORPG released in 2005. | |

Destructible Projectiles: Most enemy projectiles can be destroyed by shooting at them. It's easier to dodge, though, especially with soldiers' bullets. The helicopters' machine gun strikes are the main exception. | |

Flunky Boss | |
| Cabal (Video Game) / int_40e2ac3f | comment |
Flunky Boss: The final boss has infinitely-respawning turrets that spew out a storm of twinned shots. The third boss (a truck that hauls in a row of cannons) is also one. The usual way to destroy it is to take out the turrets until the life gauge is depleted... unless you do enough damage to the truck itself, which will immediately clear the fight no matter how few turrets you destroyed beforehand. | |

No Ontological Inertia: When you manage to deplete the enemy gauge, every remaining enemy on screen dies, all enemy shots explode harmlessly, and all structures get destroyed. As for the flunky bosses, killing the main target will destroy all the flunkies too. | |

Random Drop: Anything you destroy—not just enemy soldiers and vehicles, but structures and bullets—has a chance to emit a grenade or a weapon power-up. This can be a bit annoying if you were expecting a 50,000-point plaque from that object you destroyed instead... | |

Attack Its Weak Point | |
| Cabal (Video Game) / int_82108e3d | comment |
Attack Its Weak Point: The final Boss. It's this building◊ with many turrets popping out of the ground. In the Arcade version, the weak point is the central installation, while the NES version makes you go for the turrets instead. The third boss is a potential one—defeating the turrets the truck hauls in will deplete its life bar, but destroying the truck itself is an instant victory. | |

Rewarding Vandalism | |
| Cabal (Video Game) / int_a7372109 | comment |
Rewarding Vandalism: Possibly one of the earliest examples. Many buildings, structures and even parts of the environment can be destroyed. Many of them will release point objects (if the Random Drop system doesn't decide to give you a weapon instead, anyway...), and destroying an object that crumbles down to the ground, rather than just immediately shattering, will actually lower the Enemy gauge a bit. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Often, once you manage to take down a grey-uniformed soldier (it looks like you have to shoot him when he's aiming his gun or grenades at you), medics will run in with a stretcher and carry him away. Keep shooting the fallen soldier—or even the medics (they won't die)—and you'll generate a veritable swarm of grenades for your own use. | |
