If surviving three attack waves, more points if can dock rocket-ship.

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.
