About this game

Welcome to Astro Wars. Created by developers that brought you Galaxy Invader and Scramble

Beats N Bobs are proud releasing to release one of the most eagerly anticipated retro tabletop arcade vintage game, Astro Wars.

Its 1980, and THE MUST HAVE . Arguably, the most advanced including four sub-levels, flickering coloured fluorescent display plus joystick only seen in arcades. You could finally have your very own arcade machine at home.

PLAY:
Turn Power ON (menu will disappear, intro music plays).
Select Level (Graphics demonstrate difficulty level).
Press Start (Gameplay begins after intro music).
Kill enemies while dodging enemy fire from of alien attack phases.
If surviving three attack waves, more points if can dock rocket-ship.
Press fire, left & right. Thrusts use Fire for landing rocket ship.
Level is complete when reached 9999 points or lost all lives.
Restart by turning off & on.

We painstakingly analyzed every detail this tabletop has and achieved 99% compared to the original. We modified controls as it simply does not work as well with phone/tablet so extra large arrow keys included but left joystick in for purists (but recommend larger arrow keys). Those sound effects are here. Four phases including docking sequence. Astro Wars is compared with two real tabletop machines as these also vary with slight details. Enjoy this blast from past. If like this why not look at our others. Back to 1980s!

Check out our other 1980s emulations, vintage handheld games like Invader From Space, Galaxy Invader 1000 plus many more 80s arcade classics.

Ratings and reviews

I love this App, exactly how my actual Astro Wars Game Performed. I like the looking through the screen to play set up, but I would love the option to toggle that I get the screen play on my phone screen too, instead of through the Astro Wars Console View. It's absolutely fantastic and reminiscent of the early 1980 game, that I used tons of batteries playing at the time I absolutely love it, but would love the option to be full alien screen with just joystick and shooter on bottom of screen too

pity these things (phones etc.) don't have controllers build in. But if/when I get the wife joystick working (as I can't keep my fingers fixed on the screen, etc.) will then be worth six stars. very close remake. bonus bit at end of level always had an element of luck!

Please fix the controls. I cannot move my ship more than 2 spaces to the right. **Note** The ship is very unresponsive at the moment and does not move to the right more than 2 spaces. It's hard to send a screenshot of that unfortunately.
