Astrododge is an unlicensed SG-1000/SC-3000 game developed and published by Revival Studios. It was released in early 2013 - two and a half decades after the last officially licensed SG-1000 game, The Black Onyx in 1987. The game is relatively simple - all the user must do is dodge asteroids while travelling upwards. The game is available in both cartridge and cassette form.

The SG-1000 is one of many platforms to receive this game. The basic concept was created by Revival Studios in 2008 for CHIP-8 compatible systems of the late 1970s before being retooled for the Magnavox/Philips Odyssey² in 2011. Near identical copies to this SG-1000 version are available for the ColecoVision and MSX.
