Astrosmash is a fixed shooter video game for the Intellivision console, designed by John Sohl, and released by Mattel Electronics in 1981. The player uses a laser cannon to destroy falling meteors, bombs, and other targets.
With more than one million copies sold, Astrosmash is among the top five best selling Intellivision games. A free by mail offer, with the purchase of the console, boosted Astrosmash sales. It was also promoted in the United States and Canada via a high score contest where top scorers were flown to Houston for the finals.
An Atari 2600 port was released under Mattel's M Network label as Astroblast.
