ABOUT BLASTAR

The Elon musk first project

BLASTAR was written by Elon Musk in 1984 at the age of 12 The source code which later sold and was published for $500 in PC and Office Technology magazine. It's a simple game but a cult classic.

"Blastar" starts you off with five ships, which represent the number of lives you have in the game. The goal is to survive as long as possible shooting at the alien space freighters, which will try to eliminate you with what Musk calls "Status Beam Machines."

While Musk was enthusiastic about "Blastar," it's still very much a primitive game compared to the popular arcade games like "Space Invaders," "Asteroid," and "Galaga," that all employed similar gameplay mechanics. It's a far more impressive feat, however, when you take into account how young Musk was back then.

Now we decited to bring blastar to crypto space.
