Kozmik Kroozr

Kozmik Krooz'r, originally named Kapt. Krooz'r, is an arcade video game created by Bally Midway in 1982.

Kozmik Krooz'r is a shoot 'em up game where players control Kapt. Krooz'r and aim to reach a rotating mothership positioned at the top of the playing area. The mothership can be entered only when its tractor beam is operational. Players can shoot enemies in eight directions and deflect incoming projectiles as they progress. Every fifth round, there is a bonus stage where Kapt. Krooz'r needs to collect space junk.

What sets the cabinet design apart is its uniqueness for that time period. Unlike other games, the mothership in Kozmik Krooz'r is not stored as part of the game's graphics. Instead, it is represented by a physical plastic "toy." By using a series of mirrors, the mothership's image is projected just above the game's monitor, resulting in a much sharper and smoother rotating visual effect than what was possible with the hardware available at that time. Due to the limited production of Kozmik Krooz'r cabinets, finding a working copy of the game is exceedingly rare.
