''Code Name: Viper'' (Ningen Heiki: Dead Fox/人間兵器デッドフォックス, ''The Human Weapon: Dead Fox'' in Japan) is an action game published by Creator/{{Capcom}} for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem in 1990. The game was developed by an uncredited Creator/ArcSystemWorks (who were still a contractual developer at the time), who previously worked on the Famicom[=/=]NES port of [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]]'s ''VideoGame/RollingThunder''. As a result, ''Viper'' serves as a sort-of {{spiritual sequel}} to ''Rolling Thunder'' (despite the different publisher).
