Astro Assembler PC sluggish controls / not working

Post by dczx »

I found this game for a dollar. It's a PC shmup. Anyway, the joystick controls only work on the menu and the key controls are dramatically sluggish. Anyone know what to do?

I have the same problem, it won't read the joystick under windows (I'm running XP with a Sidewinder). I think it's just too old and not compadibale with current OS.

Aww, I paid $1.99 :(

Runs like ass on my Athlon 64-based machine running Windows XP SP2, even with the compatibility settings. I keep meaning to try it with Windows 98SE but I haven't done that yet.
