I wonder what IP would say if Mattel suddenly put up an Astrosmash clone…? Like Astro Dash...?

Astrosmash is a clone itself, yes?

 

A clone of a clone???

Invaders? I thought it was a clone of Space C*nt

Well it was more "inspired" by Asteroids. Space Armada is their Space Invaders clone.

 

Astrosmash is a pretty unique title for its time. I wouldn't consider it a clone of anything personally.

Astrosmash was inspired by Space Invaders. John Sohl was asked to program Asteroids for Intellivision but I remember him saying somewhere that he liked Space Invaders so he also did a "falling rocks" variation. Astromsmash is of the Space Invaders/Galaxian genre but it is fairly original.

 

About Froggie Dash, you're legally allowed to copy a game as long as you don't copy any creative works like music (sound effects) and art (graphics) and of course original code or trademarks.

 

edit:

I think everyone would find it funny if Mattel had any games similar to Intellivision games on their web site.
