Gameplay

edit

Cosmic Patrol is a game in which the player pilots a Terran fighter with a mission to destroy the invading Quelons.[2] The game is very similar to the 1978 Magnavox Odyssey² cartridge Cosmic Conflict!.[1]

Reception

edit

Jon Mishcon reviewed Cosmic Patrol in The Space Gamer No. 34.[2] Mishcon commented that "If you're really into video arcade, this is a good shoot-em-up. But it's doubtful you'd spend [the price] to master this at an arcade."[2]
