Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure

Reminds me a lot of Toejam & Earl, and plays quite similar. If anything, you're only getting this title because of the nostalgia factor or you're curious about how the classic platformers came about. If not, give this a pass.

I played it in the 1990's and it's still fun.

Tried to find it for a decade and whoops, a friend helped me: it was on Steam, duh. Just playing it for the nostalgia kick. There is something peculiar about the old era, no?

a lot of old-time fun!

Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure was a game I completely forgot about over the years, only rediscovering it recently while searching for another game. Immediately, I was hit with a heavy dose of nostalgia from my childhood in the early '90s! Unfortunately, I've never managed to complete the game, but maybe one day I will. Thank you, Steam, for keeping gems like this alive! Game Overview: Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, released in 1992 by Apogee Software, is a platformer that follows the adventures of Cosmo, a young alien who explores different planets to rescue his parents. The game is known for its vibrant graphics, engaging gameplay, and challenging levels that require both skill and strategy to navigate.

I've hunted for this game for more than 15 years at this point. It was a central point of my childhood, going over to my grandparent's house and playing through it on Floppy disks with my grandpa. It absolutely started a lifelong love for platformers and gaming, and the instant nostalgia hit was insane. Finally, after all these years..I get the chance to play it once again. On steam, too? Yessssss. <3
