Cosmic Guerilla Description

Left Right movement shooting at invaders who are approaching from either side to 'steal' your men from the middle and march off with them.

Cabinet Information

This game had great cabinet artwork, a white base, with purple, yellow and black overlaid artwork. It shows a horned demon and lots of swirls. Most interestingly, this has to be the only game to have a politically incorrect slogan plastered on the side -- "SUPER VIOLENCE!" The artwork on the sides (and front) was varnished or laquered, which gives it a shiny and incredibly strong coat, protecting it from scratches and any kind of fading! The control panel had backlit one- and two-player info panels. Insert one coin, "1 player" lit up; insert two and "2 player" lit up. This looks real nice on the brushed chrome control panel.
