Cosmic Smash
A game that's been playing havoc with my mind recently: Cosmic Smash. It's fantastic.
It 'handles' much the same way as virtua tennis, but the wireframe visuals and boxed-in arenas really give you a feeling of futuristic sport.
The 'commentator' that introduces each stage sounds seriously stoned or something. It must have taken quite an effort to say this in the way he has done. Anyway, the overall feeling is great and this is a pixel-perfect arcade conversion.

The aim is to hit the various targets, and sometimes a blocker will get in the way. (as you'll see from my video - shown at end too!).

Here's a great site on Cosmic Smash, made by a friend of mine: Have a blast!
Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteCosmic Smash is without a doubt one of my favorite Dreamcast games - surely one of the most unique.
I admire its aesthetics very much, simple and minimalist, functional and stylish. It would be a shame if this title was to be forever lost in the realm of japanese arcade games. We are so fortunate to have a conversion!
Thanks for linking to my website. Keep playing the good games!
Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very unique game and I am still getting used to it. It starts off really easy, but quickly progresses into something hard - a true arcade game.
The aesthetics are great - you really feel trapped by the game.
No problems about the link - it's a great site. =D
