Astro Chase ?-?-83
This is an earlier version of Astro Chase that was found in the
collection of a former Parker Bros. employee and is the third
known Astro Chase prototype to surface.
This version is playable, but is far from being a
complete game. The graphics are mostly complete (including
some nice touches that were taken out of later versions), but
the sounds and music are missing. The enemy AI isn't
complete nor is there any collision detection and the the
scoreboard is just a static placeholder.
