Gameplay from Cosmic Avenger playing on a Colecovision retro games console. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

I loved this game. I remember going to a resort as a kid and they had a CV in the lodge lobby and I spent more time playing Cosmic Avenger than playing on our vacation :)

Its too bad colecovisions are so prone to technical problems today. They don't hold up as well, hardware wise, than other classic consoles :(

I don't know about the actual electronics, but the sticks are definitely not standing the test of time. I've been told that megadrive pads will work with this, so I should give it a try some time. Many of these games may turn out to be much more rewarding with a responsive constroller.

So thats the name of this game! This is the game that turned me into a gamer. I was 5 or 6, my dad was throwing a party and I had to stay in his room and so I was playing this over and over. When he came to check on me I had gotten through that part you were just about to go in, the cave, and he was shocked because he'd never made it that far. I was overly proud to have beaten my dad. I'm still a gamer today. I want to play this again but I bet I'm better off sticking with fond memories LOL

Memories may prove to be better.

Saying that, my opinion of this was coloured by the fact that the controller was so unresponsive. It may be much more fun with a decent pad.

@SteveBenway

Any joystick that works on Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 should work on ColecoVision.

But since the Atari/C64 joysticks do not have a keypad, you would have to start off with the CV controller, and then when you are done with the keypad, quickly unplug the CV controller, and plug in the Atari/C64 controller.

Or just have both controllers (CV and Atari/C64) plugged into a single port at the same time, using a Y cable.

That brings back memories. I played it with a friend when we returned from kindergarten every day  Thats 25 yrs. ago!

I had an old Colecovision I was given by an employer. It had belonged to his son.

I sold it, foolishly. It was uber-fun.

I forgot about this game. loved it

[atarileaf]

Faulty controller ports, faulty power switches and bad power supplies are all common Colecovision problems. There is a homebrew effort to make a colecovision 2 which will eliminate all these problems and be backwards compatible with all current CV games. :)
