Cosmic Tunnels is a space-themed action game written by Tim Ferris[1] and published by Datamost in 1983 for Atari 8-bit computers[2] and in 1984 for the Commodore 64.
The first stage expects the player to maneuver his spacecraft from its home base to one of the four gates at the top of the screen, while avoiding falling meteors.
Once on the asteroid the last stage begins: the player must navigate enemy creatures to collect energy bars and place them in the ship.
David H. Ahl writing for the Creative Computing concluded his 1984 review: "The graphics of Cosmic Tunnels are stunning, but the sound effects are mediocre.
"[5] Steve Panak wrote in his column in the 1984 ANALOG Computing holiday issue, "I found the entire game juvenile and insulting to anyone of above average intelligence.
