The briefing

About this game

Cosmic Causeway: Trailblazer II is a 1987 action shooter for the Commodore 64 and Commodore C64/128/MAX. The game features 24 levels filled with enemies, timed hazards, and large enemy dragons at the end of certain stages.

Gameplay

Players shoot enemies while moving forward and must destroy the dragon encounters before the timer expires. Large yellow walls with opening and closing doors provide additional hazards.

The timer stops when the player reaches the grey tiles marking a level's end. Remaining time carries into the next level and contributes to a bonus score, while the timer resets after each dragon level. Completing the game awards a rating ranging from Hilarious to Superblazer.
