Play Cosmo Police Online

Cosmo Police is a Nintendo Entertainment System game released in 1990, developed by Vic Tokai. It came out during a time when side-scrolling action games were common on the platform, and it fits right in with that style, offering a straightforward sci-fi adventure without much fanfare.

You control a space police officer who moves through levels shooting enemies with a standard blaster, though you can collect power-ups to upgrade your weapon. The main goal is to advance from left to right, clearing each stage of enemies and avoiding environmental hazards like pits and enemy fire. Signature mechanics include screen-by-screen progression, where you must eliminate all enemies on a screen to proceed, and occasional vehicle sections that break up the on-foot action. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can be punishing, with limited continues and precise jumps required. It feels like a challenging, no-frills run-and-gun experience that relies on repetition and memorization.
