Not Just Astrotraining: Astro Tripper PC

Hullo! Me again. I'm still lolling around Kieron's room, taking a break from gnawing. I see the last game Kieron played before passing, and starting to pass through my guts, was something called Astro Tripper. There's some notes which I can just about read through the blood stains:
"After Gridrunner Revolution, a fine time for premium PC shootage", "Early-00s Edge-beloved classic, rebooted", "Derived from Defender-Derived Braybook classic Uridium", "No demo yet, but original Space Tripper demo still out there", "Why am I so lonely?", "brutally punnishing" and "£9/$15". Oh - look! There's a video here of it.

That looks fun. Not as much as rending flesh with enormous teeth, but you chaps don't get to do that. I think I'll have a play of some of these videogame things. Bye!

The Monster That Killed Kieron: A pseudonym of Kieron Gillen used as a brief running joke in 2009-2010. No one can remember why, but it was probably really funny and topical. The pseudonym was briefly revived for a single article in 2016.
