Cosmic Fighter

■ Developer: BIT Corporation ■ Year: 1990

Though it doesn’t seem to be a direct clone of any particular game as far as we can tell, Cosmic Fighter is a simple single-screen shooting game that’s very reminiscent of the kind of games that were released on 8-bit microcomputers in the early Eighties. Each stage has you killing birdlike enemies and avoiding their fire, until there’s none left and you go to the next, very slightly harder stage. Primitive, but not necessarily bad.
