In Cosmic Swarm, players guide a remote-controlled spacecraft whose task is to prevent rogue insect life forms from jamming a space station's power chamber with indestructible "nest blocks." The insects can be shot at any time, but the blocks can only be knocked out while the bugs are still carrying them. Touching just about anything except for a refueling ship will destroy the player's ship, and missing a refueling ship ends the game regardless of how many extra "lives" one has left. A bizarre mix of Centipede play mechanics with the control scheme of Atari VCS Asteroids, Cosmic Swarm -- an early entry from third-party game makers CommaVid -- doesn't exactly set the gaming world on fire with its originality, or, for that matter, with excitement. More tedious than gripping, Cosmic Swarm might make a nice collector's item for completists, but it's not that entertaining.
