Cosmic Avenger (Colecovision)(How To Beat Home Video Games 3

[TheGzeus]

The game that got me hooked on shmups as a small child.

I just bought a copy of it today (which unfortunately has chewing gum residue on it) which I will frame on my wall.

Where was this advice 28 years ago when I needed it?

This was quite likely the only video game I EVER got good at.

This was one of my favorite Colecovision games. I can't remember what came after the underwater part,though. Anyone?

[fortress66]

@giantrobot9000 it was the last one.

I loved the coin op version of this game, I was so good at it I froze up the screen once.

This game may be a second-rate Scramble, but it's certainly fun to play, and now I can play it on my GBA.

We got this game for Christmas 1982 when we got our ColecoVision.  I never got rid of it. The underwater upside-down rocket launchers always reminded me of E.T. for some reason.

I wish there were more vids of Colecovision. I used to love Venture and the 007 game!

Cosmic Avenger? I haven't remembered this in 17 years!

Wicked game! I soon found out that going fast doesn't help, since all on-screen enemies speed up to match you.

My older sister got a coleco vision back in 1982 with this game and several others. I rememeber playing it and it was fun (wish I can find some of the missing pieces of her Coleco Vision). I wasn't even born til 1983, but I rememeber playing this as a toddler before we got NES.
