Cosmic Ark 1982 T-Shirt

Description

Cosmic Ark is a video game published by Imagic in 1982. The objective is to gather specimens from different planets in a spaceship which contains the survivors from the city of Atlantis. There are two versions of the cartridge. One allows the player to toggle the starfield display on and off with the Black & White / Color TV switch, and another which the starfield cannot be disabled. The first stage has the player fending off meteor showers from all four sides of the screen by pushing the joystick to fire in the desired direction, similar to the 1980 arcade game Space Zap. The second stage requires the player to pilot a shuttle to a planet and use its tractor beam to pick up life forms.
