Description

Astro Hockey was produced by Brunswick in October 1974. The game is an early hockey videogame with four game variations.

Astrohockey is a Pong variant with four different game modes: The basic mode has two players bounce the ball around the screen with their paddles trying to hit the opposing goal. Another mode adds a variation that makes the ball change speed and direction at the center line. The other two game modes are identical to the first two, but allow one player to play against the machine.
