UFOやトーチカも存在する等インベーダーのアレンジだが、敵のゲリラは横移動しても下がらず、ブロックを持ち去って中央の砲台を奪おうとする。敵を撃ってそれを阻止するのがプレイヤーの目的。砲台が端まで持ち去られると残機が1機減る。素早く動く「はやてのゲリラ」や、激しい音ともに現れる「ミュータントモグラ」「金色に輝くゲリラ」などが登場する。亜流からユニークなオリジナルを生み出したユニバーサルの初期傑作だが、「ギャラクシアン」と同時期に登場したのが不運だった。また、石森章太郎が制作にかかわっているらしい。

Cosmic Guerilla (c) 1979 Universal.

For some reason you have 2 of your ships placed in the middle of the playing field and aliens all around them. Luckily, they're protected by 5 rows of barriers and you're on the bottom, doing your job to protect them.

- TECHNICAL -

This game had great cabinet artwork, a white base, with purple, yellow and black overlaid artwork. It shows a horned demon and lots of swirls. Most interestingly, this has to be the only game to have a politically incorrect slogan plastered on the side -- SUPER VIOLENCE!. The artwork on the sides (and front) was varnished or lacquered, which gives it a shiny and incredibly strong coat, protecting it from scratches and any kind of fading! The control panel had backlit 1- and 2-player info panels. Insert one coin, '1 player' lit up; insert two and '2 player' lit up. This looks real nice on the brushed chrome control panel.

- TRIVIA -

Released in November 1979.

According to Replay Magazine, Cosmic Guerilla brings that unique world of Japanese cartoonists onto a TV game via a deal with the famous cartoonist Shotaro Ishimori. Ishimori was a pioneering manga/anime artist. It is not know if his art was used in the game itself, on the cabinet, or both.
