Astrosmash for Intellivision -My First Time Playing it! #oldschool #retrogaming #retro #retrogame
0"Astrosmash" is a classic video game released for the Intellivision console in 1981. The game is a single-player, space-themed shooter that takes place on an asteroid field.
In "Astrosmash," players control a laser cannon at the bottom of the screen and must defend their base from a constant barrage of falling asteroids and other objects. The objective is to shoot and destroy as many incoming threats as possible while avoiding being hit by them.
The game features different types of objects descending from the top of the screen, including asteroids, spinning bombs, guided missiles, and UFOs. Each object has its own behavior and requires different strategies to be destroyed. Points are awarded for each successful hit, and the player's score increases as they progress through the game.
To survive, players must skillfully aim and time their shots to destroy the incoming objects, preventing them from reaching and damaging the base. If an object collides with the base or the player's cannon, the player loses a life. The game continues until the player runs out of lives.
As the game progresses, the speed and intensity of the objects increase, providing a greater challenge and requiring quick reflexes and precise shooting. Players can also earn bonus points by hitting special objects, such as UFOs, that occasionally appear on the screen.
"Astrosmash" is known for its addictive gameplay, simple controls, and fast-paced action. It became one of the most popular games for the Intellivision console, showcasing the system's capabilities and providing players with an engaging and challenging gaming experience.
The game gets faster and faster as you play. Which makes achieving a high score that much more difficult. This is my first time ever playing and this was the score I earned. Can you do better?? Please like, comment and subscribe. And I'll catch you on the next level..
