Play Vastar Online
Dodge swarms of enemy ships in tight asteroid corridors, squeezing off shots between waves of bullets—it’s that kind of arcade shooter where every mistake stings, but you always know how to do better next run.
Vastar is a 1983 arcade shooter developed by Sesame Japan. It arrived during a period when space shooters were common in arcades, offering a familiar but distinct take on the genre. The game does not attempt to reinvent the wheel but provides a solid, challenging experience typical of its time.
You control a small ship navigating through horizontally scrolling stages filled with enemy crafts and obstacles. Your main objective is to survive as long as possible, destroying enemies and avoiding their fire. Signature mechanics include collecting power-ups to enhance your ship's weapons and navigating tight, hazard-filled corridors that require precise movement. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is unforgiving, with enemy patterns that demand quick reflexes and memorization. It feels tense and demanding, rewarding careful play and sharp focus.
