Origins of Astroforce Uchusentai Astroforce Uchusentai is actually based on a small game called Spacenoid I developed for the Atari ST back in 1990. Mind you, I was a teenager and Spacenoid was not a masterpiece. The original idea was to create a mash-up of Taito's classics Space Invaders and Arkanoid. As you can probably see, I did reuse some of the graphics for Astroforce and enhanced them. However, the gameplay in Spacenoid was somewhat different (especially the power-up system), and the levels were not procedurally generated. I can't really remember how I designed that boss from Spacenoid (I was probably inspired by the thousands of screenshots I would usually find in video game magazines at the time). But I used it as a base to create the procedurally generated bosses featured in Astroforce.
