Cosmic Life is a video game in the strategy genre and published by Spinnaker Software Corporation originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit.

Cosmic Life, released in 1983 for the Atari 8-bit line of computers, is an intriguing game that had the potential to captivate players of all ages. Developed by Robert Furniss-Roe, Cosmic Life is a real-time strategy game where the player takes on the role of a space-faring alien, tasked with exploring and colonising an unknown universe.

The objective of Cosmic Life is to establish colonies in as many star systems as possible, while also ensuring the well-being of the colonies by managing their resources and keeping them safe from enemy forces. Players must manage their resources carefully, as each system has different environmental conditions that must be balanced to ensure the survival of the colony. Players must also manage their fleets and ships, as they explore the universe and search for new resources and allies.

The game also features an AI system, which allows players to watch their colonies and fleets interact with each other in real-time. This allows players to gain insight into the behaviour of their colonies, as well as the behaviour of their enemies. Additionally, the game also has a combat system, which allows players to engage in strategic space battles.

Overall, Cosmic Life is an engrossing game that combines elements of real-time strategy and exploration, with a clever AI system that allows players to observe their colonies and fleets in action. It is a game that has stood the test of time, and continues to provide hours of entertainment for those who take the time to explore its depths.
