Legacy
Astron Belt performed modestly well in the arcades, but not nearly as well as Dragon's Lair or Space Ace, which set the gold standards for successful laserdisc games.
Sega and Bally Midway released a sequel called Starblazer (also known as Galaxy Ranger) in 1984. It had the same controls and very similar gameplay to Astron Belt, and one machine could be converted to the other by simply changing the laserdisc, game ROMs ROM and the sound board.
To date, Astron Belt has only been ported to the MSX Computer System.
