Summary

A good replacement for console platformers

The Good

One big advantage console systems had over PCs were their platform games. Cosmo didn't have the same silky action as Mario, but the colorful graphics and diverse levels made up for it. It also adds in nice twists, like being able to stick to walls and drop bombs.

The Bad

The animation was a little stiff. The sound effects were reasonable for something coming out of a PC speaker, but still not so hot.

The Bottom Line

If you've got a PC but no NES, Cosmo makes a good substitute for Mario.
