Bleck sequel to 1979's ASTRO FIGHTER, this is essentially the same game but with some enemies moving in various herky-jerky flight patterns. You still have a limited fuel supply that will end your game if you run out, and there is still a boss at the end of each round (it's MUCH easier to beat in this game). The game in general is easier than Astro Fighter, it seems. Sometimes an enemy (or a small group of enemies) will fly in a swooping pattern down at you-- if this happens you can try to wipe out a group of them (and get a bonus) or you could let them get by.. in this situation the group of enemies will not re-formate, which would cost you precious fuel (as was the case in the first game). The 6th stage is the boss stage, and he's REAL easy: he flies back around VERY slowly, giving you time to fire a shot up the middle (and must connect when his jaws aren't closed and destroy him, then start everything over again. Not quite the worst DECO Cassette system game but nowhere near particularly good.
