OH MY GOD!!! I FINALLY FOUND IT!! I remember playing this game on my uncle;s Sega. I didnt remember the name of it but it honestly was the game that made me love video games!!!!
This was the very first game I owned. I was 6 years old and had broken my leg, my dad bought me this game and I loved it. Sadly I never got past level 4 it was very difficult.
Video game manufacturers are foolish for not redistributing these games again on XBLA or PSN. Imagine all the children of the adult gamers today, rediscovering these games and buying them.

Not to mention all us adult gamers obsessed with retro gaming again.
I really did love this game, but jesus fuck it was hard.
Honestly you couldn't die ONCE in the later stages for if you did, you'd be completely overwhelmed flying your underpowered dreamcast -controller ship.
whoever's playing this game really sucks at it, sorry to say. They missed the power up truck twice and most of the game is playing it as the car or jet.
its a simple shooter with only 3 levels. but for some reason its super fun to play. maybe its because each enemy have their own distinct pattern.i remember playing this game.so much that the score went back to zero.
@gregsageisdead me too. man... i wish it had more. couldnt get enough of astro warrior. and the music stuck with me even after twenty years. its so cool to hear that people enjoyed this game as much as i did. because back then it felt like i was the only one playing it LOL.
Can you do a review of the game 1942? It is a lot like this game, yet set on the ocean destroying japanese aircraft carriers as bosses. I own Arcade Legends 2 arcade machine. Its amazing. It has the original Joust, Defender, and about 100 others. Magic sword, Ghost 'n' ghouls/ghost 'n' goblins (Which is hard, but it would be awesome for you to review!) Thanks.
I loved this game back in the day! In the UK, the early Sega Master System's often came with Hang On & Astro Warrior built in. After playing this I desperately wanted a Master System. The Bitmap Bros borrowed a lot from this for their game Xenon.
I'm tempted to get one off Ebay, just for this. Emulation is cool but there's times when you want to have the real thing. :)
This game is apart of my childhood. alongside Pacman, Galaga, Pole Position, Outrun and the like this game was one of many games that sucked me permanently into gaming.
This game is serious win! It came as the pack-in with my Sega Master System that I got back in '88. I already had a NES and wanted to see what the Sega was like, also picked up an Atari 7800 in '88.
lol, I never had this game as a child but I acquired it recently when I bought myself a SMS for nostalgia's sake. I always crack up laughing at the "SURELY REVIVE ZANONI" part, someone needs to put that on a t-shirt for sure.
Okay, so we have (two iterations) of the Sega Genesis Collection: so where the f is the Sega Master System Collection!?! They could practically put the entire catalog on one dvd/blu-ray/umd. Sigh....
Yeah good review! but um this goddamn game was supe5r hard to play and beat,especially after the second boss spaceship. I played this alot when it first came out on sega.Bought it at Toys r Us.
it kinda sucked because we only had two games for our master system: this game with hang-on and spy vs spy....and everyone else i knew had nes....we had that too...but i liked the sms better....the games were so different and more appealing to me....but i had one friend who had an sms who got every game when it came out, and he used to invite me over to his house regularly and we would play the hell out of em...shinobi...gangster town...captain silver...you name it he had it....at some point....
there is any key from keyboard wich can fire automatic? i play this game on my pc with Fusion Emulator but i always die cuz the fire is not automatic. if you can help me pls send me an answer. Thanx in advance:)
Everyone I knew had the NES. I had one friend who had the SMS. Looking back on life, perhaps I was only friends with him because of this. His Dad was a crazy tweeker that apparently liked video games a whole lot. They had about a dozen games on the SMS. This one, Safari Hunt, Wonder Boy, Teddy Boy, Ghost House, Gangster Town....oh those were the times.
His crazy Dad also had a Vectrex which I thought sucked at the time.
It's stupid not to upgrade to the laser! The laser can shoot through a row of enemies with one shot AND it can shoot through barriers. Playing with the standard bullets is like playing handicapped.
Man, I played this game sooooooooooo much back then. I also had the Hang-on/AW combo cartridge.
can't believe how much fun i had playing this game back in the day....except when it's one of the 3 only games you have it kinda gets boring after a while.....but still it's burned so much in my mind i had to find a review or some kind of recognition for the game online....and here it is conveniently located on youtube.......nice review...surely revive memories
My copy of this game still works! It gets so hard after beating the Nebula Zone when random things start shooting at you. Great review... I've had this game since 1988 and have never tried not picking up the laser.
great fucking video man. very entertaining. funny, smart, creative, and very true. i had that combo PAC and Astro warriors was my favorite game back then too
the combo (w/ hang-on) came with the SMS. when i think back on all the SMS games i owned and played, this is the most memorable. thanks for the review!
Hilarious review..The MDLT combo cart - lol I own a dedicated Astro Warrior. This shooter fuckin rocked! My 1987 purcahsed Sega Master System set came packed with a combo cart of Hang-on with Safari Hunt.
The funny part of the review is he says he's gonna come back with another review with other end bosses bu the third level is the last, unless the next playthrough opens up a fourth.
My Copy of this Game hadn't got HangOn on it. It had another Game called "Pit Pot" which was a small adventure Game with a Knight who has to collect treasure from a castle in Order to rescue the Princess
I remember when I was a kid I had this game, and I liked to finish games. To my surprise this game has no ending or not that I know of, because once you complete the third screen you start all over again and enemies are much faster. The thing is I read in the manual that said you have to kill everything...so I did...I killed EVERYTHING on all 3 screens hoping to end the game...never ended.
Ah...can't forget those Saturday mornings in the late 80's when my cousins would come over and bring the Master System with this game, Hang On, Safari Hunt...and what's that one like Spy Hunter, where your car changes to motorcycle and helicopter...
Master System was cool. SOmetimes I just have random Master System kicks for no reason. But My MS broke, so I have to emulate now, which is not the same. I'm keeping the games in case I want to buy another one.
What the Fuck!!! Hey, commentator dude, just shut your mouth on the 2nd level!!! Your voice mess with the COOL tune!! You spoiled the best of this game, that tune!!!
Hey, you guys do you remember the SEGA master system cartridge when you bought this console? It had HANG ON and ASTRO WARRIOR...BTW the second level tune is really neat...
If you like this shooter for the sms then get powerstrike for the sms. It is awesome and blowes this game away, dont get me wrong I love astro warrior. I played this back in the day then I sent away for powerstrike, cause you had to send away for it at the time(later they sold it), but it has everything you could want in a sms shooter and still holds it own today, thanks for the video's.
Dude. There were at least four of the ultra power up fallin' down on ya's. AND YOU DIDN'T GET THEM. o_O Those babies let you SHOOT through the... whatever those things are called, but I think you get the idea!
Mark, I'd like to recommend Ikaruga for the XBox Live Arcade. It is a frantic shooting game that I figured you would enjoy, seeing as how you enjoy playing a slew of shoot em' ups.
I never had a Nintendo. I had a SMS growing up. I loved Astro Warrior. I also had the Jungle Hunt/Hang On combo. You also need to try these games that defined the system for me: Quartet, Wonder Boy 3; The Dragon's Trap, and Aztec Adventure. Oh yeah, and I also lovingly grew up on the SMS version of R-Type and Fantasy Zone.

SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY
Awesome shooter for the SMS. This is a very challenging game indeed but it's not impossible to play. Astro Warrior is a bread and butter shooter that will test the mettle of any shootemup fan. The music is outstanding. 5 stars
Is it just me, or does this game's graphical... "style" look a lot like Uridium? The "tiles" you fly over are almost exactly the same, and even the player's ship looks kinda simillar...
I bought this game as a kid from Wembley market, but mine came with Pit Pot in the combo pack, instead of Hang-On.
Have you thought of doing a review/feature on the Sega Cards at all yet Mark? Those were pretty awesome, especially at the time, look a game on a slightly thicker credit card! Radical :D
Looking at the SMS Power forums, only Woody Pop will work on a western SMS as the others have the wrong region code. Apparently, they will play on a GEN/MD with a Power Base Converter. SG-1000 cards don't work, either, even on a GEN/MD with a PBC because the GEN/MD doesn't support the SG-1000 video modes (which is why F-16 Fighting Falcon doesn't work right).
Great game, I saw this one at a garage sale ages ago and i snatched it up for 50c or something, the game is great and the price was right. You gotta love the retro stuff.. Excellent stuff Mark.. can't wait for Nintendo week. WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!!
One of my all time favs

Mark, I'd like to recommend Ikaruga for the XBox Live Arcade. It is a frantic shooting game that I figured you would enjoy, seeing as how you enjoy playing a slew of shoot em' ups.

I never had a Nintendo. I had a SMS growing up. I loved Astro Warrior. I also had the Jungle Hunt/Hang On combo. You also need to try these games that defined the system for me: Quartet, Wonder Boy 3; The Dragon's Trap, and Aztec Adventure. Oh yeah, and I also lovingly grew up on the SMS version of R-Type and Fantasy Zone.

looks a lot like Star Force on the arcades, have you tried that one out ? it's a great shooter too.

Awesome shooter for the SMS. This is a very challenging game indeed but it's not impossible to play. Astro Warrior is a bread and butter shooter that will test the mettle of any shootemup fan. The music is outstanding. 5 stars

Is it just me, or does this game's graphical... "style" look a lot like Uridium? The "tiles" you fly over are almost exactly the same, and even the player's ship looks kinda simillar...

I bought this game as a kid from Wembley market, but mine came with Pit Pot in the combo pack, instead of Hang-On.
Have you thought of doing a review/feature on the Sega Cards at all yet Mark? Those were pretty awesome, especially at the time, look a game on a slightly thicker credit card! Radical :D

Pit Pot? Never heard of that one. I am assuming it never had a US release. Correct me if I am wrong.
SAGAIA2 3 years ago
Well the version I had was a US copy...
PitPot was a launch title for the Mark III, that they re-released with Astro Warrior in the west.
I think there's an arcade game of it too, it's sort of like a cross between bolderdash and Zelda, you hammer out holes in the floor to trap enemies.
ScrewAttackEurope 3 years ago
Interesting. I might import that then.
SAGAIA2 3 years ago
The Astro Warrior/Pit Pot combo cart was released in Europe, but not the US.

Thanks for the info. BTW do you know if the Japanese Mark III My Cards will work on a US SMS?
SAGAIA2 3 years ago
Looking at the SMS Power forums, only Woody Pop will work on a western SMS as the others have the wrong region code. Apparently, they will play on a GEN/MD with a Power Base Converter. SG-1000 cards don't work, either, even on a GEN/MD with a PBC because the GEN/MD doesn't support the SG-1000 video modes (which is why F-16 Fighting Falcon doesn't work right).
CRVKHZ 3 years ago
Bummer. I wanted to get Machine Gun Joe...>_>
Glad to hear Woody Pop would work though.
SAGAIA2 3 years ago
That being said, I guess the paddle controller doesn't work right on an export system.

No it was McDLT. It was a reference to an old gimmick at mcdonalds in the 80's

You should have no trouble. Hang-On/Astro Warrior was the pack-in game for SMS.
