Cosmic Ark is a sci-fi-themed, action/arcade game for the Atari 2600 developed by Imagic in 1982. In this sequel to Atlantis, players pilot an interstellar ark to rescue creatures from planets about to be destroyed. The game has two main segments: the first involves defending the ark from meteor showers using a laser cannon, and the second requires the player to descend upon planets to beam up pairs of alien creatures. As the player progresses, the challenges become faster and more difficult. Cosmic Ark is remembered for its colorful graphics and addictive, fast-paced gameplay.
