When was the last time you played on a ZX Spectrum? Real, Emulated, no matter. And what did you play on it?
Mine was AstroBlaster, 3 days ago on my +2A.

AstroBlaster is my first community GameBoy HomeBrew review. Check out this simple, clean vertical Shump. This game has great foundations and is a quick play-through. May also be a good start for kids!

For #ThrowbackThursday Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlaster in DisneyQuest. That was a fun attraction. Like bumper cars, but you also tried to shoot the other cars with rubber balls that you would roll over to "reload."

First game I ever bought on the Spectrum.
Still one of the worse games I've ever played.
(Second was AstroBlaster from Quicksilva which was slightly better!)

Back when it opened, there was a small article about it in a UK mag with a few photos, I'll see if I can unearth it in my storage. I wanted to go so badly, and one of my friends went over just for it, sounded like it was awesome. The idea of AstroBlaster was what did it for me—IRL game with pickups.

First 2 games I purchased for mine were Transylvanian Tower (Richard Shephard) and AstroBlaster (QuickSilva)
Second game was certainly a better choice. 39 guilders for TT

So, the main issue becomes air resistance. Could you use an astroblaster on the Moon to get the smallest ball to escape velocity?
