Astrotit – An absurd shoot ’em up from another galaxy (and era).
Astrotit is without a doubt one of the most bizarre and boundary-pushing shoot ’em ups of the 1980s. Released in 1987, it blends classic arcade action with a concept so goofy you’d think it was a parody — and it just might be.
Your mission is to blast your way through a surreal army of enemies, including:
- 💊 Bouncing Birth-Control Pills
- 📖 Flying Bibles (straight out of Dixieland)
- 🦠 AIDS viruses
Yes, you read that right.
The gameplay is a classic vertical-scrolling shooter where you pilot a spaceship, dodge waves of enemies, collect power-ups, and try to survive as long as possible. Controls are simple, the graphics are authentic 8-bit retro, and the audio is all beeps and bloops that take you straight back to the arcade.
But it’s the concept and its enemies that make Astrotit something entirely different. It’s crude, silly, and almost certainly inappropriate today — which is exactly why it’s a bit of a cult classic among those who collect weird and bizarre DOS games.
