- 0.30: Mike Balfour and Dave Fish added Astro Blaster (version 2) (Sega 1981) and clone (version 1). To quote from Clay Cowgill's page about the version 1: This ROM set appears to be the "original" Astro Blaster ROMs. There are no on-screen instructions and the progression of waves is very difficult. I believe they were replaced by version 2 (below) to make the game a little easier. The game behaves a little differently than version 2 when starting up - the more coins you put in, the more ships you get to start with.
- 17th December 1992: Dumped Astro Blaster (version 1).
