Here's another Arcade-like game for you to enjoy, as Tom Gun Software has released Astro Invasion, a fast paced new space shooter designed to put your reflexes to the test. Drawing heavy inspiration from Stern’s beloved 1979 arcade classic Astro Invader, the game throws players straight into the cockpit of a lone starfighter tasked with holding the line against an aggressive alien mothership and its endless, descending swarms. What makes this release particularly impressive is its performance; the entire game is written 100% in pure machine code, delivering buttery-smooth, lightning-fast action whether you choose to command your ship using a keyboard or a classic joystick.
According to the developer while the game is presented in a crisp, high-definition black and white layout on other vintage systems, Amstrad CPC owners get the exclusive luxury of playing the space battles in full, colour. Tom Gun Software has gone the extra mile too, to ensure cross-platform harmony, making the release universal across the Dragon 32, Dragon 64, Dragon by Tano, Tandy Color Computer, and Amstrad CPC. Both PAL and NTSC formats run at identical speeds, and players on the Dragon and CoCo machines will also benefit from automated keyboard mapping.
