the two different downloads here are duplicate, one a file and the other is the same file named AUTORUN.SYS contained on a 90KB disk image.

i'll take back the couldn't-do-as-good remark, this is a good one too, but not for 3 or 4 players. this has its niceties, the choice of wrap or bounce for moving off screen vs astrowarriors random placement, the ANTI gravity option, and the 1 player "practice" mode in which you fight against a mirror image of yourself, are all clever addons to this genre.

looks like they tried to copy "Astrowarriors" but couldn't do as good of course. see Astrowarriors and press P to change number of players from 1 to 4, in Astrowarriors this is, because the P button ain't in the on screen instructions.
