Cosmic Spacehead is a platformer with adventure game elements by Codemasters and is similar to earlier games of theirs like those in the Dizzy (Franchise) franchise. It was first released on the NES as Linus Spacehead's Cosmic Crusade and then received its new simplified title when it was remade for 16-bit systems the Genesis/Mega Drive, SNES, and Commodore Amiga (this remake was also "de-made" back into an 8-bit game for Sega's Master System and Game Gear systems). Cosmic (Linus) has just returned from planet Earth but unfortunately no one on his home planet Linoleum believes his story about Earth. As a result he decides to return there, but this time he will take a camera in order to prove the existence of Earth. The game revolves around Cosmic's attempts to acquire a camera and space ship in order to return to Earth and throughout the game the player must solve a series of puzzles in order to acquire new items, this in turn allows the player to further progress through the game's story. The game world is set in a number of different locations on the planet, in order to travel between these locations the player must complete a short platforming section, these follow traditional platform mechanics of progressing from one side to the other while avoiding enemies and pits of death.
