Cosmic Spacehead adapts Codemasters' adventure platformer to Master System with its alien hero searching his way to Earth. A mix of platforming and point and click, the hybrid concept appeals despite sometimes difficult legibility. Original in the 8 bit catalogue.

"From the very first seconds"
Part point-and-click adventure, part platformer, this zany journey follows a clumsy alien seeking recognition. The genre blend and offbeat humour give it a singular charm, where solving a puzzle unlocks a new area to explore. Colourful and unpredictable, it wins you over with its good-natured tone and its wealth of funny ideas.
