Uchuusen Cosmo Carrier is an outer space shooter for the NES. It was developed by Jaleco, and only published in Japan near the end of 1987. At first glance, it appears to be a behind-the-cockpit space shooter, but in fact, it is a complex space adventure game that has the player piloting around the solar system in an effort to collect six parts needed for an ultimate weapon, the photon missile, in order to put an end to the plans of a battle planet that seeks to wipe out earth. Players must discover landing points on various planets and moons, in order to explore them in various kinds of mechanical exploration suits to locate the weapon parts. The game is very menu driven, although there are some action sequences. Uchuusen Cosmo Carrier was only released in Japan, and never translated from Japanese to any other language.
