MaximumRD Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Heh, back in the day this was definitely a "let's give it just one more go" type of game.

socrates63 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Very fun game! I played Cosmic Ark for the first time a couple of months ago during a high score challenge. It didn’t take long for it to get pretty intense 🕹🕹 MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Oh lord. This game is simply a blast to play. For a 2600 title, it’s very unique. No lives, multiple screens with drastically different gameplay, fun and satisfying mechanics, great graphics; everything that makes a great 2600 gem. I would have to say that one of my favorite parts of this game is seeing what alien creatures I’ll be rescuing next. There are a ton of the little guys! Who needs Pokémon when you have Cosmic Ark? The Space Zap section is also a lot of fun. It gets so heated and intense in the later levels, and the mode works because you’re punished if you shoot your lasers Willy-nilly. You have to be precise in your shooting. Overall, this game rocks! It’s a shame we didn’t see a sequel. I would have loved to see Atlantis III.

I definitely recall when first trying this back in the day at first thinking "Is this all there is to it?" and then the next things you know it's 3 hours later and I am still at it. Ah I miss those simple times. 😛😆 RickR 1 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

RickR Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Most Imagic games were pretty spectacular back then. With the cool silver boxes and always great graphics. This game was special because of the two different "screens". Yes, both screens were pretty simplistic. But it didn't matter, once you played, you got hooked. It's got the great ramp-up of difficulty. MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Has anyone ever figured out if there is a way to tell the difference between the two rom variants of this game? And do we know if the one with the ability to turn off the star field is a newer or older release over the one that does not allow this?
