Cosmo is a young alien whose family ship crash-lands on a strange planet while en route to a holiday on Disney World. When a towering monster snatches his parents, Cosmo sets out across the Forbidden Planet to rescue them — using the suction cups on his hands to scale walls and ceilings and his explosive temper to clear the way.

Designed by Todd Replogle and Stephen Hornback for Apogee in March 1992, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure: Forbidden Planet was one of the first platformers built specifically for VGA. Commander Genius runs it through its experimental 'Cosmos' engine alongside the Commander Keen series.
