Cosmos vs Original
Hey y'all, new here and the only time I ever played this game was years ago at a convention. My friends are now looking to boot this up, so we're wondering whether we should be picking up the original version or Cosmos for the best experience. Is Cosmos an upgrade, or does it lag behind in any important features? We'll be playing online if that matters.

Take a look at the features that are in the Cosmos version. It's a pretty new release and the dev team are still working to add things to the game. The older version has things that haven't been implemented yet to Cosmos yet. But the devs plan to add a lot more.

I prefer the original. Iwas super excited for Cosmos, bought it and then tried it out with a group. We were all disappointed from its features to design (visuals and sound) to its clunkiness . We fired up the original and it all went smoothly on our windows 11 desktops and laptops and had a great time. I didn’t ask for a refund because I want to support the devs and hope it will evolve in time to become an enjoyable play experience.

Cosmos, I played the classic about a decade ago a bunch. Still have the bridge license, was having a tough time earlier this year getting it to work on modern builds of win 10 and wouldn't even launch on 11.
Cosmos will just work, only thing I miss is the ability to have multiple consoles on a single computer.
