History.dat entry:
Kozmik Krooz'r (c) 1982 Bally Midway.
Kozmik Krooz'r is a shoot-'em-up game in which players guide Kapt. Krooz'r to a rotating mothership at the top of the playfield, one which can only be entered when its tractor beam is operational. Players can also shoot enemies in one of eight directions and deflect firepower during their journey. Every fifth round there is a bonus round where Kapt. Krooz'r must pick up space junk.
- TECHNICAL -
[Game No. 639]
Cabinet dimensions : 71,75'' High x 25'' Wide x 40'' Deep.
The cabinet design was unique for its time, as the mothership is not stored as part of the game's graphics. The spaceship is a physical plastic object. A series of mirrors projects the mothership just above the game's monitor, giving a much sharper and smoother image as it rotates more than what could be achieved on the hardware at the time. Very few Kozmik Krooz'r cabinets were manufactured, making a working copy of the game very rare.

- TRIVIA -
The game was originally called Mother-ship, and the mechanics were developed by Marvin Glass. However, the realistic-looking game did not test very well, it was supposed to use a mirror to reflect the image of a ship onto the play-field. In an attempt to save the project, Bill's new design of the game introduced the cute green alien called Kapt. Krooz'r that Bally Midway executives hoped would be the next fad like "Pac-Man" was for Namco (NOTE : Kapt. Krooz'r's next appearance was in "Wacko").
