comment
Astro Blaster is a 1981 arcade game by Sega, in which you control a spaceship that must survive through at least four different alien attack waves and a meteor shower before attempting a docking with the mothership. While you are doing this, you must watch out not only for your fuel supply which is constantly dwindling, but also your laser temperature: fire too many shots for too long, and your laser can be temporarily deactivated.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It makes a cameo appearance in the Sega Dreamcast game Shenmue, but the machine has an "Out Of Order" label on it and is not playable.It is currently available as a homebrew for the Atari 7800 from AtariAge.

Very High Velocity Rounds: Your enemies' shots are slowed down, but yours aren't when you activate Warp.

Overheating: A critical element of the game is to watch your laser's temperature.

Endless Game: Though the alien wave attack patterns vary, you keep on playing until you run out of fuel or ships.

Bullet Time: The Warp button gives you ten seconds to slow down the action that can only be used once per ship in each level. Very High Velocity Rounds: Your enemies' shots are slowed down, but yours aren't when you activate Warp.

Robo Speak: One of the few arcade games of the time period that used voice synthesis, in this case sounding like the ship's computer.
