Play Cosmic Epsilon (Japan) Online
Dodge neon grids while blasting anime-inspired enemies—this NES shooter messes with your head as much as your reflexes, with trippy visuals and eerie synth tunes.
Cosmic Epsilon came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989, developed by HAL Laboratory. It was part of that late NES wave where developers started pushing the hardware in more experimental directions, especially with sci-fi themes and abstract visuals.
You pilot a small ship through a series of maze-like stages, shooting down enemy crafts and dodging intricate patterns of fire. The main goal is to clear each screen of foes while navigating tight corridors that often scroll in multiple directions. Two mechanics stand out: the way your ship can lock its firing direction independently of movement, and the disorienting, sometimes non-linear level layouts that require careful spatial awareness. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can spike without much warning. Playing it feels like solving a tense, electric puzzle with a joystick in your hand.
