Astro Warrior (1986) - Sega Master System gameplay

Shooty shooty fun on the Sega Master System! Astro Warrior was an early game for Sega's red and black box of grooviness, and it's not a bad one at all. Only problem is that it's a bit short. There are three levels which feature many of the staples of shoot 'em ups of the time, and it's a good introduction to the genre, but after completing those three levels, the game loops back to the start, and then becomes virtually impossible. Well, at least for me. I did ok for the first cycle, and then after that, I seemed to lose all abilities to actually control my controller. I blame it on the fact I don't have rapid fire and my fingers ached, and enemies were bombarding me with cheese puffs!
