This work was a full-fledged adoption of the technique of "using animation to express important scenes in RPGs" in the early days of CD-ROM video games. The beautiful visual scenes that took advantage of the CD-ROM's performance and the talking characters voiced by voice actors were shocking and talked about at the time, and the game became a popular work that later led to the establishment of a fan club, a novel, a manga, and OVAs based on the game. The game became the starting point of the Cosmic Fantasy series.

The first and second PC Engine CD-ROM2 versions of "Cosmic Fantasy: Adventure Boy Yu" and "Cosmic Fantasy: Adventure Boy Bang," which are also the starting point of the Cosmic Fantasy series, will be reissued as the "Cosmic Fantasy COLLECTION.

The "Cosmic Fantasy COLLECTION" will be released for the Nintendo Switch, and will recreate the atmosphere and feel of the PC Engine versions, while providing a sense of nostalgia for fans of those games, as well as new discoveries for modern game fans.

The downloadable version of "Cosmic Fantasy COLLECTION" and the English version will be announced separately.

More than 16 million yen raised through crowdfunding

The "Cosmic Fantasy Revival Support Project," a crowdfunding project for the development of this software that was conducted on "Makuake," a service for supporting and purchasing atarashii things and experiences, as a reprint project following "Valice," received enthusiastic support from many fans. The project raised more than 16 million yen in support purchases, the largest amount for a reissue of a Telenet game IP.
