Cosmic Jailbreak

Post by highinfidelity »

I remeber, when being kid, a friend who could go on almost indefinitely playing an arcade game whose name I don't recall, somewhat similar to Space Invaders but with aliens approaching from the left and right sides of the screen.

Yesterday, thanks to the FE3, I loaded Cosmic Jailbreak for the VIC and it looks impressively similar to what I remember of that arcade game of long time ago.

I suppose, however, that as usual it's a clone of some other game, as much as Avenger is a clone of Space Invaders.

Does anyone know the name of the original arcade frome which Cosmic Jailbreak has been cloned?

If it was on the Vic20 it could have been Blue Meanies.

I don't know the original arcade game for Cosmic Jailbreak
