The New Dimension, in co-op with Alf Yngve are both proud to present Cosmic Combat Deluxe. A fun arcade blaster for one or two players.

Look out for bonus stages and of course alien boss waves.

You will gain an extra ship for every 10,000 points scored.

Nice C64 Shooter! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:47:12. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Richard just why the keep on wth SEUCK after all these years the work you have put in you could wrote a better engine by now from scratch ??? i admire the work you have done.. but it's a little puzzling..

It is more or less a nostalgia trip. I have been using SEUCK since I first had my Commodore 64 in 1990. It is something I found to be great fun. I understand that SEUCK games do not please everybody, but SEUCK has been part of me since 1990.

Your music is great btw and your doing a great work with the engine past what i think the creator even thought of  :)
