About The Space Adventure
While waiting in a bar for his partner, Cobra encounters a beautiful bounty hunter named Jane. Very soon he realizes that the bounty Jane has been hunting for is his own head, for which the Galaxy Patrol has put quite a reward. But everything changes when Crystal Boy, the head of the Pirate Guild and Cobra's archenemy, appears on the scene. Jane's father had apparently hidden a great treasure, encoding its location in tattoos on the backs of his triplet daughters. Crystal Boy wants this treasure, and is going after Jane and her sisters. Cobra and Jane decide to join forces in order to find Jane's sisters and to undermine Crystal Boy's plans.

A space-pirate adventure that Game Players found standard and short on animation.
This is the Sega CD version of The Space Adventure, developed and published by Hudson Soft. It is a port of a PC Engine CD-ROM game from 1991 in Japan and came out in North America in June 1995 and in Europe in July 1995.
Game Players, in September 1995, found it standard stuff as graphic adventures go. You play a nigh-invincible space pirate hunting intergalactic treasure, but the reviewer thought there was little animation and sound that came from at most two actors. The game carries an M rating.
How it was made
Hudson Soft developed and published it.
What the press said at the time
“pretty, without a thought in her head, and have a big tattoo on her butt. Kinda like this game...”

Before you buy
Among North American Sega CD games the US disc is one of the priciest, far above the middle, and loose copies sell infrequently. The European disc usually costs about the same as the US one complete. Ask for photos of the disc's printed side, its data side and the inner ring, and check that the title and catalogue number match the case.
