About this product
Product Information
Asteroids is the 1998 PlayStation update of the classic arcade hit. Coming almost twenty years after the original, the gameplay remains intact: pilot a small ship through an asteroid field, armed only with a laser cannon and a shield. Avoid the asteroids hurtling toward you, while blasting them into smaller and smaller pieces until they disappear entirely.<br><br>The PlayStation version, however, utilizes 3D graphics and adds several new options. There are now eight different types of asteroids and obstacles including the Classic Asteroid, Mined Asteroid, miscellaneous space debris, fiery comets, and the Indestructible Asteroid. Players can also use three different ships, including the well balanced Dagger, the low armored but maneuverable Rapier, and the slow turning, firepower intensive Longsword.<br><br>In addition to the UFO that tormented your ship in the original game, Asteroids features 11 other enemies that try their best to keep you from achieving the highest score. New enemies include flying saucers, crystallized ice ships, various turrets, repulsion units, and the suicidal Kamikaze units. You'll be supplied with a vast array of wildcard weapons including mines, homing missiles, plasma drills, trigger bombs, lasers, and the Missile Armageddon. <br><br>Asteroids features a simultaneous two-player mode where you and another player battle against each other in the asteroid field. The original 1979 classic is also included.Product Identifiers

Meh
I'm a huge fan of the original Asreroids, and some of the remakes, but this version disappoints me. All the annoying intros take a little time to get through and when you finally get to play a game, your ship is real tiny while the asteroids are real huge, kinda awkward. Plus, the shooting action is rather slow and uneventful when you make a hit. For me, nothing beats the original vector graphics, which operate smoothly and offer attractive explosions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
