  • Arcade Video game published 43 years ago:

    Astro Wars © 1981 Zaccaria.

    Italian license from Data East's "Astro Fighter".

    Player steers fighter craft and fires missiles and endeavors to eliminate attacking forces. Each stage of the game becomes more difficult, with each fighter craft moving closer into the battle.

    TECHNICAL
    Main CPU: Signetics 2650 (@ 1.7897 MHz)
    Sound Chips: Signetics 2636, Speaker

    TRIVIA
    It runs on a worse hardware than the original with poor sound capabilities. Because of this, Data East's title was far more successful, and this version is not very popular at all.
