Astro Fantasia is a
fixed shooter arcade video game released by Data East
in 1981.
Gameplay
The player gets to pilot a single fighter spaceship against an armada of enemies.
There are two different play screens that alternate:
- Wave 1 uses pseudo mothership craft visible at the top of the screen, but shots cannot reach it at this point. Red aliens quickly begin attacking, swooping in line formations from the top area of the screen. They scale in size as they get closer. After the armada is gone, the mothership begins spewing out groups of red aliens, and a new greenship that fires at the player. Eventually the mothership will stop spewing fighters and the entire screen will scroll up, and the game will begin the second wave.
- Wave 2 pits the player against the mothership directly. Multi shot is gone, and players can only have one shot on the screen at a time. The mothership has three areas that must be blasted away.
