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, uses 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 your 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 that slows down all the enemies on screen. The game counts five worlds,
and each of them has five sub-stages. Just clean up all the baddies in each of them to jump
to the next. A Challenge Stage awaits for you at the end of each world. In there, just
prevent the froggy like characters from stealing your precious items, from
mysterious crates to bags of gold. The only real boss of
the game, Boss Cosmo, awaits for you at the end, 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
for the Super Famicom again in 1993. This sequel is, however,
more a Tetris kind of game.

Cosmo gang the Video is a lot of fun, especially if you are a
Galaga/Galaxian. The only flaw of the game is certainly the difficulty level,
or the lack of it. It is much 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 welcome. All in all, Cosmo gang the Video is a fun and
addictive game, and I especially recommend the two players mode.
