1983 Crystal Computing (UK)
by Graham Stafford

I thought I played all the 'Space Invaders' inspired games around. At least the good ones. I was wrong.
This is probably the most original and different I've encountered so far.
Cosmic Guerrila is one hell of a chalenging game! It starts gently and becames infuriating really really fast.
The plot is a little different. You dont just blast the alien ships while they hover and shoot at you, you have to carefully choose the ones who steal your cocoons(?) and blast them to smithereens, or else you'll risk losing a stationary ship. There are different set of aliens in each level and different game options which is always a nice touch. I think this is one of the best space shoot-em-ups from the early days.

This is tricky and not helped by the fact that this game give you the choice of playing the hardest difficulty by default! But even on the lowest difficulty it's still a tough game, but it's quite a good game for what it is and it is certainly playable.
