Release Date RRP Code

Astro Warrior (アストロウォーリアー) is an early Sega Master System game developed and published by Sega in 1986. It is a very basic vertical scrolling shoot-'em-up, in which the player pilots a spaceship and is tasked with destroying as many enemies and structures as possible. At the end of each galaxy there is a boss.

As a stand-alone game, Astro Warrior was never released in Europe (bar Portugal), instead being bundled on the same cartridge as Pit-Pot in Astro Warrior / Pit Pot. In North America, it was bundled with Hang-On in Hang-On / Astro Warrior. The game was also brought to arcades through Mega-Tech hardware.

The game was re-released in Brazil and Portugal as Sapo Xulé: S.O.S. Lagoa Poluída in 1995, based on Sapo Xulé, a popular 1980s toy from Brazil. Instead of being set in space, it is set underwater, though is otherwise identical. Brazil had previously received Astro Warrior as well, meaning there are two versions of the game in that region.
