Game description: As the skies of Metro City fill with giant mechs, Astro, a robot with human emotions, arrives in a blaze of glory to defend the humans and robots of his city. Fueled by jet-powered legs, he buzzes the menacing beasts and blasts them with lethal laser fire from his fingertips. He soon discovers his powers also include x-ray vision, an arm cannon, enhanced hearing, and super strength. Help Astro uncover his full potential through 10 interactive areas, including a volcano, outer space, underground, and the city.
