Terramex

Terramex, also known as Cosmic Relief, is an old Video Game by Grand Slam Entertainment. It involves the search for Professor Eyestrain, who predicted that a meteor would strike the Earth. Others laughed at him and he retreated into his laboratory in the mountains. Now, however, the meteor is nearing the Earth and only Professor Eyestrain can stop it. The player must pick one of five adventurers and find the professor.
