About Astro Wars tabletop classic

Created by developers that brought you Galaxy Invader, Scramble/Astro Command, Beats N Bobs are proud releasing a most eagerly anticipated tabletop arcade video game emulation, Astro Wars.

Its 1980, and THE MUST HAVE home video game . Arguably, the most advanced video game including four sub games, retro flickering coloured fluorescent display plus joystick only seen in arcades. You could finally have your very own arcade machine at home. Love retro style 1980s games?

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.
Game is complete when reached 9999 points or lost all lives.
Restart by turning off & on.

We painstakingly analysed every detail this tabletop game has and achieved 99% compared to 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 Astro Wars why not look at our others. Back to 1980s!

Check out our other 1980s retro emulations Galaxy Invader 1978, Invader From Space, Galaxy Invader 1000 plus many more arcade & retro tabletop classics.

What are users saying about Astro Wars tabletop classic

As with Mike Robinson review, needs some different screen format for phone display. Instead of the round porthole view, it's much more elongated and somewhat off-putting. A fix would see a 5/5 review.

R70%
by R####:

Terrible on a phone. There needs to be an option to loose the overlay and expand the screen. On my Samsung Galaxy Note 10" it is great. On the Samsung Galaxy S4 is is not so good. Could be improved by obeying screen rotation too. No joystick support. I bought a fighting stick to play, but no support (works fine on mame4droid).

Loved this game as a kid. Essence of the game is here. Docking can't move left or right, you could on original. I suspect more would download if a little less expensive. All in all, pretty good!!

The last time i played this game was when i was 12 now am 43. My parents got me one for christmas although i found it very hard to separate my dad from it that christmas. This version realy take me back and reminds me of the fun i had play it as a boy i. This version is ace but if its not to much trouble is their any chance the dev could make the area were the fire button detects a bit bigger other than that it saulgoodman.

A great mobile version. Fire button needs a bigger touch area though. Great fun and the sound and graphics are very authentic. I was soon looking for a broken Grandstand 4 prong adapter for the phone :-)
