Reception
Jon Mishcon reviewed Cosmic Patrol in The Space Gamer No. 34.[2] Mishcon commented that "If you're really into video arcade, this is a good shoot-em-up. But it's doubtful you'd spend [the price] to master this at an arcade."[2]
gollark: I know Joshua *isn't*, at least?
gollark: I'm not clear exactly what everyone is doing, but:- Ojas and someone are doing mechanical/hardware design, which is general to basically all the challenges- me and Aidan are doing cameras and sensors, which generalizes to most of them- actually I have no idea if anyone else is doing anything
gollark: Only because lots of people are effectively just ignoring the team divisions.
gollark: I don't think mr wilde will mind if we come up with a better way to organize stuff and explain why.
gollark: What?
