Cosmo Police: Galivan
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1998
About this game
Cosmo Police: Galivan for the NES is very different from the other versions and a game that belongs to the Metroidvania genre, being primarily a Metroid (NES)-style game with a few RPG elements added to the formula such as an experience point-based leveling system, melee weapons that grow stronger through usage and NPCs that hand out gameplay clues.
The player explores an interconnected world in a sci-fi setting which gradually opens up as one gains new abilities (such as the late game jet boots which let you fly temporarily with each use, and some special weapons which let you open new paths by destroying walls), destroys computers and beats bosses.

The abilities all cost energy (called CP in this game) to use.
Interestingly for the time and platform, the game features an auto-save feature that triggers at certain points.
Loading a save makes your experience points go down to the minimum for your current level while your main weapon's (the blade) level stays the same.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Cosmo Police: Galivan for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Cosmo Police: Galivan to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1998.
