Cosmo

Cosmo is a two-player shooter and gallery game released in 1979 by TDS & MINTS. Players utilize two-way joysticks and single buttons to control their spacecraft as they navigate through space, engaging targets with projectiles. The gameplay involves aiming and firing at various objects presented within the gallery format, requiring precision and coordination between players. This older shoot'em up utilizes an Intel 8080 processor and discrete circuitry for sound effects, creating a distinct audio experience characteristic of early arcade games. Cosmo offers a cooperative challenge as players work together to clear the screen of obstacles and advance through the levels. The game’s design is rooted in the gallery shooter genre, offering a unique blend of target practice and spatial maneuvering.
