Super Astro Fighter Longplay (Arcade Game)
7- Super Astro Fighter Longplay (Arcade Game) -
Super Astro Fighter is an enhanced version or an upgraded iteration of the original Astro Fighter arcade game from Data East (part of the DECO system, rings a bell?). The game puts players in command of a spaceship stationed at the screen's base, tasked with obliterating incoming enemy waves.
This revamped edition boasts upgraded visuals and introduces captivating boss battles prior to the refueling intervals, akin to its predecessor.
Spanning six levels, the game's climax arrives with the sole, final boss showdown, embodying the era's quintessential fast-paced action and demanding gameplay.
While it presents moments of frustration, I've long admired its distinctive focus on precision shooting, unlike other prominent '80s space shooters that emphasize sheer volume. Also, the strategic fuel consumption, doubling as a disguised time limit, notably heightens the urgency, especially in the later stages, amplifying the game's intensity.
