GAME DESCRIPTION

Cosmic Avenger arcade cabinetColeco’s exciting COSMIC AVENGER™ game puts you in control of a space fighter battling a planet full of aliens. Fly your fighter over domed cities and through alien seas, firing bombs and missiles at enemy installations and targets. But beware! The aliens are not defenceless. UFOs and submarines shoot at you, bombs fall from above and missiles rise from below while rockets track your every move. Fire, dodge, and fire again! How long can you survive above this dangerous alien planet?
 
Port of Universal’s arcade game released during July 1981. This game is the first continuous X-axis (Left-Right) scrolling video game.

OPINION

This is one of the nine games available at the ColecoVision’s launch. It is the archetype of the first games on this console. This is an excellent port of a pretty unknown game at that time.

Your ship flies over protected cities, then you dive in alien oceans, firing missiles and dropping bombs on enemies. The original version is more detailed and its gameplay is smoother, but Cosmic Avenger is a good game on ColecoVision especially if you’re fan of Scramble or Super Cobra.

Note : 4/5
