Published by M Network, Mattel's label for consoles other than the Intellivision, Astroblast has the player defending a space base by firing upward at meteors and invading ships that fall in increasingly fast waves. The formula is simple and effective, a direct descendant of Space Invaders but with its own visual identity. One of the many solid shooters that filled the bins during the first great wave of home consoles.
