"Astro-PANIC!" is a fast-paced, high-speed, all-machine-language game. The object is to defend your cannon, maneuvering it left and right as alien saucers dodge and dive in a relentless attack. - description in COMPUTE!'s Gazette Issue #8
Astro-Panic! is a computer game released as a code listing in the very popular Commodore series magazine, COMPUTE! Gazette, in 1984. The author of the game, Charles Brannon, was a great contributor to the magazine for many articles and programs. Astro-Panic! was one of his most popular games, written completely in 6510 machine language and printed in the Gazette.
nymx ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/nymx ) improves the previous TAS ( https://tasvideos.org/4449M ) by 6.42 seconds, thanks to switching to NTSC and better optimisation. Note that at level 15 the game continues, but difficulty drops back to 0 and the game is effectively over.
