Astro Flash is a Japanese arcade title from the first half of the 80s, an era when dozens of small manufacturers produced ship shooters with minimal variations on the Space Invaders and Galaxian formula. There are no solid sources to precisely confirm developer, exact year, or design particulars beyond what the title itself indicates. It's included today as a catalog piece from that first wave of Japanese shooters: interesting for anyone tracing the genre's origins, though with an identity diluted among dozens of similar contemporaries.
