You fly over mountain tops and through caves dodging enemy space ships and missiles fired from the ground. Cosmic Avenger is a 1981 arcade game developed and published by Universal. Legacy Cosmic Avenger was ported to the ColecoVision video game console. Wes Hupp holds the official record for this game with 117,290 points on November 17, 1982. Reception Mark Bussler from Classic Game Room notes that Cosmic Avenger is the first continuous horizontal side-scrolling space shooter (though it is actually predated by Konami's Scramble). Cosmic Avenger looks quite well and provides a rewarding challenge to the player.

Description

Cosmic Avenger is a side scrolling shooter based on the arcade game. You are the pilot of a space fighter on a dangerous mission above a hostile alien planet. Your goal is to earn as many points as possible by using your missiles and bombs to destroy the various enemies you'll encounter. The aliens are armed with deadly missiles, ufo's, fuel domes, barrage guns, torpedoes, mines, tanks and more. You need to destroy as many of these as you can before they destroy you!
