OMG! How did I miss this!?! AND version 1+2? From judlands blog: "Most importantly, the game play is fast and the controls are very responsive. Playing a game like this, you would never know that the C128's VDC chip doesn't have hardware sprites." I dont have the time to try it yet, but if the above is true, there will be a few people from this forum dissasembling the code to have a peek! Good find judland. Thanks for the heads up. cbmguy: Yes please to v1 and 2!

...so I was itching to try this game... I booted up WinVICE x128 with no joystick attached and holding my 6 week old baby in one arm.. basically using the keyboard one handed! I did manage to have a little go. Well, all I can say initially, is that its certainly fast enough! What a cracking little game!

Well, what do you know.... just out of the blue, I happened across both Astra and Astra 2 just a little while ago. I found them on this resource here: 8bitfiles.net/archives/canada-remote-systems/c128/games/index.htmlTurns out that Astra and Astra 2 are really the same game (as Astra Invasion 3), they are just earlier versions of the game. Astra looks like a beta version and Astra 2 is very similar to the third installment, although I find it to be a little easier skill level. Anyways, hope you're enjoying the game! David.

On the web site there is also a brief description for each title. www.fragit.net/
When you click on the Canada Remote System it gives you a warning message. But I trust the site is secure.

I just go directly to the ftp's URL and I don't see any warming. Not sure what to make of it.
