Cosmic Avenger is a 1981 arcade game developed and published by Universal. This game is the first continuous X-axis (Left to Right) scrolling video game. Wes Hupp holds the official record for this game with 117,290 points on November 17, 1982. Although Defender came out before Cosmic Avenger and was a continuous scroller, Defender went in 'circles,' and the player could control the direction of his ship.
Famous quotes containing the words cosmic and/or avenger:
“Life seems to be an experience in ascending and descending. You think you’re beginning to live for a single aim—for self-development, or the discovery of cosmic truths—when all you’re really doing is to move from place to place as if devoted primarily to real estate.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
