COSMO: KID FROM SPACE

Available mid-March 1992

From the creator of Duke Nukum, Todd Replogle, comes a game that redefines the boundary of IBM PC graphics. A game that features full-screen wide, dual screen, four-way scrolling levels! In simpler terms, if you've ever played games on the Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo, you've seen what dual- scrolling levels means: Incredibly realistic graphics.

Duke Nukum has a non-scrolling background, but Cosmo has a colorful background that actually scrolls (moves) at a different rate than the foreground plane of graphics. This simulates an amazing 3D feeling.

Cosmo is a lovable extra-terrestrial (alien) with a special ability, he has hands that work like suction cups! He can cling to walls, ledges, and all sorts of things. (Some have remarked that he looks like an alien version of Bart Simpson.)

Cosmo and his family are on their way to Earth, because Cosmo finally got his birthday wish--to visit Disney World! But a meteor strikes their ship and forces them to crash land on the planet Zonk. Cosmo's parents are captured by the planet's inhabitants, and Cosmo sets out to rescue them.

Young Cosmo embarks upon a thrilling adventure that will undoubtedly become an Apogee classic. Due out in mid-February, 1992.
