Asteroids review - Nintendo Gameboy
A very early vector graphic arcade machine developed from an even earlier game called Space Wars. It went on to spawn two sequels: Asteroids Deluxe and Blasteroids.
GAME: The player's space ship is stranded in a densely-packed asteroid field. Blast them all away to stay alive - or die trying!

This is a great version of Asteroids which plays almost identically to the original coin-op. The stark black and white line-drawing graphics of the coin-op have been replaced by more up-to-date solid full sprites (I think that's a shame, but then I'm a purist), but the sound is very similar. Gameplay is tough, with three levels to challenge you, and there's also two-player teamwork and competition modes to add extra lasting appeal. Excellent stuff - highly recommended.
