Gameplay

Protect sectors from alien invaders in Super Astro Fighter, a cooperative space shooter released by Data East Corporation in 1981. Players pilot a super astro fighter spaceship and confront waves of enemy spaceships across varied environments. The objective is to destroy incoming aliens and ultimately face the "space master," a large boss ship, destroying it to refuel and continue the mission. This two-player game utilizes Data East’s DECO Cassette System hardware, marking its place as the ninth title in the system’s lineup. Super Astro Fighter builds upon the foundation laid by the earlier Astro Fighter, offering updated graphics and sound for a more immersive experience. As players progress, they must strategically navigate encounters to ensure their ship remains operational and capable of confronting increasingly challenging alien forces.
