nosweargamer Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I just wanted to dedicate a topic to these two games from Imagic. Both are beloved by many, but what I find neat is how the games combine. In case you didn't know, Cosmic Ark takes place right after Atlantis, making it officially an unofficial sequel. Whereas a game like Missile Command ends with total destruction, in Atlantis, when doom catches up to you, you actually make an escape (something I don't recall other games doing) and continue your journey rescuing life forms from other doomed planets in Cosmic Ark. What a great concept! It would've been cool to see more games continue story lines like this, but play in their own unique way. I even made a combined gameplay video that kinda shows how these two games blend together: RickR, Justin, Sabertooth and 2 others 5 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm not very good at Atlantis, but I really like the style, and I LOVE Cosmic Ark. When I was a kid I really felt like I was getting to travel from planet to planet. Neat stuff. nosweargamer 1 Quote "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Two excellent games from Imagic! I also like the tie-in between Atlantis and Cosmic Ark. Its such a subtle touch but it somehow adds depth/mythology to two very simple games. Very cool!
