An alien mothership has parked itself overhead, and its swarms are pouring out. Climb into your fighter and hold the line.

Astro Invasion is a fast-paced space shooter inspired by the 1979 arcade favourite Astro Invader by Stern. The game is presented in glorious high-definition black and white (colour on the Amstrad CPC). It is written 100% in machine code and can be controlled by keyboard or joystick. All Dragon and CoCo files are universal for PAL and NTSC and play at the same speed on both systems. On these machines, the keyboard mapping is also detected automatically for your convenience.
