'''''Astro Blaster''''' is a 1981 arcade game by {{Creator/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.
