When we brought you TRAILBLAZER, we pushed your reflexes to the limit.
That was your training... Now here is the REAL challenge.
Retaining all the breathtaking speed and exhilaration
of Trailblazer, COSMIC CAUSEWAY packs in more exciting new features than you could
ever wish for.
Thunder along 24 perilous new courses, negotiating the obstacles and
aliens the way, collecting credits to improve your chances.
Cosmic Causeway comprises of 24 levels in six sections. At the end of each section,
you will encounter a dragon which you must repeatedly shoot to destroy, while avoiding
the fireballs it spits. Any time remaining at the end of each level will be carried
forward to each section, your remaining time will be converted into bonus points.
Colliding with the shimmering white disks will award you between one and three
credits, which you can then spend on ICON features.

ROLL ON CEILING - Where there is one! - 3 Credits
CYAN DEACTIVATE - Makes cyan squares behave like brown ones. - 3 Credits
PURPLE DEACTIVATE - Allows you to roll over purple squares. - 4 Credits
TURBO - Gives you great speed. If your speed is great enough you can smash through walls. - 5 Credits
SHIELD - Collision with aliens will not throw you off course,but will destroy them and gain you points - 6 Credits
ROLL OVER HOLES - Lets you do just that! - 7 Credits

These icons features last for one level only. Select the icon you want at
the start of the level by pressing FIRE when your desired icon light up.
Aliens can be shot by pushing the joystick forward.
However, obstacles such as trees, boulders, etc., cannot be shot and must be avoided.
Points are gained for colliding for colliding with īTargetsī
but not for shooting them. As you travel down COSMIC CAUSEWAY
you will encounter walls with one of the three types of doorway through which you
must pass. Some doors open and close all the time, some open only as you approach
and some will begin to close as you approach.
