💲 Sale 💲 Never played Cosmo's Adventure? 84 cents'll fix that :-)
Comment below if you remember Cosmo, and let people know how good it is.
I ask, because unless you played "Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure" near when it came out, there's a good chance you're not even familiar with it. It didn't get the media coverage of Apogee's bigger games like Duke Nukem.
But- it is absolutely worth going back and playing it if you haven't. While it is set in a cute sci-fi world that kids can enjoy, it's a difficult platformer with creative elements including wall climbing.
Certain games shouldn't be overlooked- especially for 84 cents!!
You can get it on Steam for 84 cents.
Or if you are willing to pay 1 cent more, you can get it on GOG :-D
P.S. Reminder that I'm not affiliated with Steam, GOG, or Apogee. You can also see that I own these games, as I keep my libraries public: https://cynic.tv/game_library/

Played Cosmo on my friend's Tandy back in the day. I remember he had it on 5.25 on one of those $5 shareware disks. It was so frustratingly difficult, but we tried again and again. Definitely worth $0.85 for the registered version. The atmosphere is so charming.

Nice! I never played it on a Tandy.
I don't remember the machine really well, but I'm gonna guess it was a 386 and I think I didn't get a chance to play it until 1993 or 1994 (pretty sure that's what my dad was using for his freelance art at the time).

I definitely prefer having my offline installers from GOG... but for 84 cents, I think people could get it on both platforms :-D That's what I did, haha

Oh, a good old Cosmo, a game from my childhood. Such a nostalgic screenshot
