Alright... People have been asking how to run this game on Windows 10 / Windows 11 a lot, and I myself have had that issue for quite a long time as well (even with the compatibility mode to Windows 95 or Windows 98/ME). I decided to try using a couple of DirectX Wrapper, and I have found a solution: 1. Download version *_0.32_* of *_DDrawCompat_* from github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat 2. Extract *_ddraw.dll_* from that ZIP Archive to the *_same location of the game_* (where the *.exe is present). 3. You *_do_* have to *_set the compatibility_* to *_Windows 98/ME_* or lower. 4. Enjoy! Hopefully you guys should be able to play the game on Windows 10 / Windows 11. Special thanks to @blackask8254 for pointing this out for their problem on their system (Windows 11)
Thanks for this gem. When I was 10 I got stuck at lv13 for like forever. Last week I booted my old laptop and finally beat the game. Maximum satisfaction. Also mad respect to you for losing no lives. 👏🏼👏🏼 (My favorite is lv6 because it has my favorite music plus air support item)
Thanks for the kind word. I actually played this game for millions of times and that's why I was so good at it. And coincidentally, the hardest mission actually has your favorite music as well. Other than that, the rest of the game should be easy enough to beat... well, except for mission 15, when you literally have to consume most of your homing missiles to beat the final boss. I used to get stuck at that level a lot, along with Mission 11.
You’re a role model for all gamers 😂👌🏼(I’m saying “gamer” ironically but yeah) Yeah coup de grace was so easy it was almost disappointing. But it feels... uhh, nice? To see all enemy ships from previous missions return. 🤣Anyway, this is such an underrated game but I’m glad it existed.
Can’t hold my tears cuz of the massive nostalgia, every single day playing it and never got bored, fr I would dare give all the money of my savings account to them to make a new Astrobatics, same dynamic, same hud but new levels and new spaceship
I played five years ago and i miss this game. Astrobatics is a great game for computer. So nostalgic Edit: My favorite missions is Don't Get Stabbed, Coup De Grace, An Overgrown Crab, Extreme Heat, Need To Break Off, Dragon's Lair, and Under Heavy Fire
Music used from this game was later used in the doom was ALT when it was released in 2012. The interface music was used for the main menu and the music from missions 1, 11, 15 was used in map 14 of the wad.
orandza023 My favorite are definitely mission 7, 8 and 14. Mission 8 is pretty difficult, but I definitely like the soundtrack and the second half of it, when they time it right to make it asteroid. Mission 7 has a lot of items during the stage, and mission 14, definitely the part I mentioned in the description (which was deleted), at 1:42:42.
My favorites are 1, 7, 12 and 15 Mission 1 very classic, the plane seems fly fast. Mission 7 has cool environments (construction background and foreground like mission 2 with sky background from mission 6) Mission 12 has cool items and construction foreground (which again like mission 2, but with constructionand sky background like mission 6) Mission 15 has great amounts of items and has cool construction background.
My favourite one are 10, 12, 13 and 15. Because those bosses are looks cool. However, mission 11 boss is harder than others because they rolled up down each other it cause you have a little move to beat them unless you have shield
Agreed. Mission 11's boss really ramped up the difficulty. The game doesn't give you enough Homing Missiles, unlike Mission 14. Not to mention, both of them moved in circles, and enemies still appear, so it's even harder to dodge.
I never render 16:9 in 4:3 or 4:3 in 16:9. It always looks stretched. But for this game it doesn't look too bad. Dolphin emulator tho has a widescreen hack, making all the games playable in 16:9 ( without looking stretched) and it looks just fine. But usually it looks just terrible. PCSX2 emulator also has that widescreen hack
I just figure out something: You might want to set the compatibility to Windows 98/ME or lower, then restart the computer. After that, you launch the game, hopefully the game launches. If it does, wait till title screen, and then you minimize the game. Then restore back to the game and voila. I really hope it works, but if it doesn't work then sorry, I have no other way.

You mean by GameHouse selling it? If you mean so, GameHouse used to sell this game on their official website, but I believe that they removed it for some reasons, since Windows 10 can't run this game.
@@Charly9631e windowws 95 works too but i still suffer Fps issues and the other compatibilties i get a application error of DirectX v.4. i was wondering how your game was very smooth compared to mine. all the other games like Alien sky (Swarm 1998) Star monkey and atomaders run very well but not this.
@@mickeymouze5 Ah. I was using Windows XP back in that time when I was in Vietnam. The sound quality was perfect thanks to the DC offset of a certain sfx in the game. Now that I moved to the USA, I use Windows 7, which is still smooth, but while recording the game will run slow. I have never used Windows 10 before, so unfortunately I don't have any solution to the issue like that. Sorry...

Unfortunately, I do not think there's a known way to play this on Windows 10 though. The only good way is to run it via Virtual Machine. Otherwise, you'll have to buy a Windows XP computer for better audio.

Thn dude now I can enjoy the game
it works i already try it
it is working, but when playing is very lagging.... how to solve it
OMG It's working. Thank you so much for the help. Now I can play Astrobatics and Atomaders on Windows 10 without problems.
You are legend. Subbed.
This also applies to many other games in the same era.
Nostalgic feeling is so strong in this one !
Me too
Saaame.
One of the few games of my childhood that I really got addicted on
For me, this game is a timeless masterpiece
How can I get the game plz

most kraisoft games are quite good but the developer very bad at marketing....
this shmup game is decent, but soundtrack is a shining point

This somehow is 10 times better than the space games today
Yeah, I agree, mate.
Finally, after many years searching the name of the game that I remember, i finally found it
I managed to beat coup de grace during my time as a 7 yr old. Considering I'm 15 now. I gotta say time flies.
Me too but i was play this since i was 3 and now im 15 now.
When im 4 and now 15
i love this game so much
i still remember this music and it's pure gold to play this so much.
Bring back memories,I like music from mission 3 and mission 7,and I always repeat that mission so many times.
I Have Already Complete This Games But You Are legendary yaar means buddy Good Work Bro
Imagine if this game got remake with Ace Combat style
This is one of the games that really changed me when I was a kid, now that I 1CCed a shmup game, I wonder how I'd fair...
I miss this game 😔😔😔
I played it when I was 8 years old💔
As you probably know the interface music was used for the 2012 Doom II total conversion entitled ALT.
Wait, I didn't know that later on Doom II actually had that similar music.
@@Charly9631e It's a wad that was made by a group of Russians.
@@Charly9631e Also the music for missions 1/11/15 was used in map 14.
@@SigmaRho2922 do you have like a video of the OST for that game?
Charly9631 yes ruclips.net/video/GMdM8k834V0/видео.html
Damn you good at this game
Idk why, but this game still my favorite until now
Yeah, me too, mate.
I will watch this video often，because is my favorite the game. :)
Man i love the atmosphere of this game
Man you sure know how to play this game, I used to have torment at lvl 11 against bosses and at lvl 13 in the beginning
when I was a kid, I cant get past lvl 11, I gave up that so I played some CS lol
@Igor salaj do you know that alien sky builders gone wild music is the remix version of astrobatics level 8
@@starlight6738 Did you know that one part of mission 3 and 7 song is the remix of Coralos theme from Atomaders?
@@FatFish7600 ofc lol
I'll never pass extreme heat cuz my computer broke :(
Ahh the nostalgia
2020 still love this game.
Me too. Around 2007, and that was a long time ago.
Same, I'm played this game after five years as become memories for that awesome game
Well played!Btw,which was your favorite level?For me,it's level 13,even if that one is very annoying

Ahh... good ole' Gamehouse games
Damn i remember when my dad is the only one who can finish this game so nostalgic
Good times, finally remembered what game it was!
The only thing i remembered in this game was the bone thing with lightning all over,now i feel old🏚️
My childhood
is there a download link for this game? I wish there was since I really wanted to finish this game but I've never could since our old pc broke.
You can buy it from the official Kraisoft website.
The music of this game was recently reorchestrated: ruclips.net/video/VKrOqjs9FwM/видео.html
Damn, that looks sharp!
I think it's more because it is a pc game ;) the recording software isn't that important ( but unregistered bandicam is really bad lol )
I never render 16:9 in 4:3 or 4:3 in 16:9. It always looks stretched. But for this game it doesn't look too bad.
Dolphin emulator tho has a widescreen hack, making all the games playable in 16:9 ( without looking stretched) and it looks just fine. But usually it looks just terrible. PCSX2 emulator also has that widescreen hack
awesome play!
Ranking the missions by its difficulty in my opinion:
1. Mission 13
2. Mission 8
3. Mission 15
4. Mission 11
5. Mission 12
6. Mission 9
7. Mission 10
8. Mission 14
9. Mission 2
10. Mission 7
11. Mission 3
12. Mission 4
13. Mission 5
14. Mission 1
15. Mission 6
I miss this game so much 😢😢😢
I love this game
GG! I remember when I was stuck at level 11 XD
Wish you had a laser beam turret! Then you'd have rockets and lasers firing at the same time!
Well, that'll make the game way too easy. So, I disagree.
THANKS MY BROTHA
I noticed that there is a reference to Swarm in this game on the last mission, there is a ship stuck in one of the crates.
Mission 13 very hard😦
my memories ^^
It's been a long time since I've seen the bosses of this game lol
how that game can run with windows 10? please give me a any guides...
I just figure out something:
You might want to set the compatibility to Windows 98/ME or lower, then restart the computer.
After that, you launch the game, hopefully the game launches. If it does, wait till title screen, and then you minimize the game. Then restore back to the game and voila. I really hope it works, but if it doesn't work then sorry, I have no other way.
@@Charly9631e Thanks for your Guides and I appreciate for it...
I love this game still today (Oct07,2024) i remember i have this game in my hard driver, but how to run it in windows 10 & 11
Imagine trying to long-play this without killing any unarmed enemies
That could be an interesting challenge!
Now provided that I can even play the game on Windows 11, I would record it.
Control robots (like tower defenses) to destroy alien-like creatures, A place like a starship or like a laboratory

hello, where they sell it in digital version
?
You mean by GameHouse selling it?
If you mean so, GameHouse used to sell this game on their official website, but I believe that they removed it for some reasons, since Windows 10 can't run this game.
AFAIK, it's currently the only website that you can buy for the game. I could be wrong though.
Thank you
MY CHILDHOOD
it is the best shooting game ever
is there anyway to make this game work and aswell as getting a full version? i tried the demo's they all dont launch.

I'm not too sure about the compatibility option... If you set it to Windows 98, I guess?
