Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game casts you as Astro, a powerful robot created in a boy's image. You must fight against evil robots threatening Metro City to bring peace and foster coexistence between humans and machines.
Story
Story
When his son died in a tragic car accident, Dr. Tenma, a brilliant robotics engineer, created a super-human robot in his son's image, named Astro. Dr. Tenma believed that robots would some day rule the world, and created Astro with abilities unlike any other robot.
Another brilliant scientist, Dr. O'Shay, envisioned a different kind of world where robots and humans could coexist. He opposed Dr. Tenma's motivation for creating Astro and later took custody of him. Dr. O'Shay decided to raise him as a symbol of peace, hoping to remove once and for all the negative feelings associated with robots.
Astro now lives in Metro City, under the great care of Dr. O'Shay. Unfortunately, the city is suffering from a series of raids at the hands of evil robots, and they consider Astro their enemy. To stop this injustice, Astro and Dr. O'Shay must fight to bring peace back to Metro City.
