Summary
All fun and great tunes make Cosmo a good game.
The Good
This game was a favorite of mine growing up. I loved it so much, I always wanted to order the non-Shareware sequels. This is among the best DOS games I've ever played. It has a lot of fun play. Basically, an alien boy is on a mission to save his folks on the "Forbidden Planet." To get to the end, he has to kill all sorts of evil creatures by jumping on them. It's tricky at times, but not frustrating. The graphics are cheery and splendid, and the music is incredibly catchy. I loved this game.
The Bad
There were very few things wrong with Cosmo. First, it's a little monotonous. There are like ten levels, and you really only face like five different creatures over and over again. You can also only kill them by jumping on them or bombs. It would have been cool if he found a ray gun and got to shoot sometimes, or something. But, all in all, the pros outweigh the cons.
The Bottom Line
A fun, cheery nostalgia trip that brings you back to a time when video games had silly synth music and graphics were not 3D but still looked good.
