Cosmo gang the Video is the conversion of Namco's arcade game released in 1991.
The game is highly inspired by Galaga, ultra famous shooter released by
the same company in 1981. This version, however, features cute colorful graphics and
froggy like characters instead of the traditional alien flying saucers.
Formations of flying pink frogs and other weird aliens fill-up the
screen and the player's task is to clean the whole thing up.
Power-ups have also been added to the mix : shields,
a jack-in-the-box that freezes everything on the screen for a limited amount of time,
mine fields and giant-webs to slow down all enemies on the screen. The game counts five worlds
and each of them features five sub-stages - the player simply needs to clean up
all the baddies in each of them to jump
to the next stage. A Challenge Stage awaits at the end of each world - in there, the player
has to prevent the froggy like characters from stealing precious items, from
mysterious crates to bags of gold. The only real boss of
the game, Boss Cosmo, awaits at the end of the game after completing the fifth world.
A two simultaneous player mode is available.

Cosmo gang the Video is an arcade game released by Namco in 1991 and
was converted the next year for the Super Famicom system. A sequel, called
Cosmo gang the Puzzle was then released in the arcades in 1992 and again
for the Super Famicom in 1993. However, this sequel is a puzzle game.

Cosmo gang the Video is a lot of fun, especially if you are a
Galaga/Galaxian fan like me. The only flaw of the game is certainly its difficulty level...
or rather the lack of it. Cosmo gang the Video is way too easy,
only Boss Cosmo, the final boss, is tough to defeat
and will need several tries. Challenge Stages are a bit dumb too, real
boss encounters would have been welcomed instead. All in all, Cosmo gang the Video is a fun and
addictive game and I especially recommend the two simultaneous player mode.
