The last time I played this I was 14 and it was on the ZX Spectrum. This version however has the look and feel of the arcade game and captures it remarkably well. Motion is super smooth and the sound is perfect especially on a large speaker. I’m not a natural gamer and therefore cannot get past level 5. So there’s the challenge. A great game for distraction therapy and you don’t need any coins to re-start.
never played the original game myself, but playing this game was great in itself. It runs smoothly and has sound effects and cool looking explosions that make it even better. Definitely would recommend!😄
A polished, and faithful-in-all-the-right-ways recreation of Asteroids. The movement of the ship and the graphics feel and look just like the original. Only graphical difference from the original arcade cabinet is missing the glowing monitor effect. I like the added variability in this version, such as asteroids breaking unpredictably into multiple pieces.
If you want a taste of sweet nostalgia from the 1979 seminal title, or to see an example of the perfect kind of starting project that a burgeoning game developer can attempt, I recommend playing Asteroids Revisited!
