Description

Astro Battle - initially marketed as Space Invaders - is an unlicensed variant of the seminal Arcade game. The player controls a tank at the bottom of the screen and shoots at a formation of advancing aliens. Incoming fire can be dodged by hiding behind bunkers, but the bunkers slowly deteriorate with each hit. Periodically a UFO flies past which can be shot for bonus points.
