NES Linus Spacehead's Cosmic Crusade (USA, Europe) NES

[Teone]

Before getting a official (revamped) release for the SEGA Genesis, Cosmic Spacehead was released as this version, unlicensed, for the NES. Really cool mash-up of different playing styles here!

Oh, you mean "Quattro Adventure"?

Whoa, yes, exactly! That's crazy I haven't seen this since I was a kid.
I don't think I ever really paid attention to the name. I always just kinda remembered it as the game with the weird gold cartridge.

Man, I totally forgot about that weird little character. I had this (or some game with him in it) on a multicart as a kid. I think my mom might have bought it off QVC lol

I had no idea the Wavves song was a reference to something! Now I gotta try it!

Haven't played this, but I'm aware that it was ported to many platforms.

OK. After playing through BOTH the NTSC release and the PAL release, I definitely recommend playing the PAL version due to it implementing a couple improvements.
• Linus (or Cosmic in EU) can now control his jumps in midair during platform segments! No more "Castlevania"-esque stiffness lol! His speed and jump height were also raised a bit.
• You now find these Password items spread throughout the world. Upon picking them up, you get a password.

• Linus also moves faster on the overworld map screens as well as on the trash compactor robot's conveyor belt.

As for the more cosmetic stuff, well...
• There's a new title screen + splash screen. That's it lol.

Never heard of it, AND it looks good, nice. It has Maniac Mansion style play for some parts, and some not-so-easy platforming with slippery inertia thrown in. Pretty cool. Would have loved this back in the 90's.

Torvalds? :o? Why are you cosplaying, Torvalds? x'd?

It looks nice graphically for a game that were developed by the team at Codemasters.
