About: Atari's Asteroids was the most popular arcade game in the 80's, before pac-man fever hit the world. Clear the asteroid field by destroying all asteroids with your missiles. Some asteroids will break into fragments. Piloting the ship is challenging, as you will need to strategically use thrusters and steering capabilty, while anticipating inertia in space.

How to Play
Instructions


  1. Press [up] to start the game from the title screen.

  2. Press [up] to activate thrusters.

  3. Press [left] or [right] to turn ship direction left or right.

  4. Press [spacebar] to fire missiles ( up to 3 at a time ).



All objects, including the ship, asteroids and missiles "wrap around" space. So when an object leaves from the top of the screen, it reappears from the bottom.

Levels, Scoring & Extra Lives

The player earns points by destroying asteroids in the asteroid field. Big asteroids are worth 30 points, and small asteroids are 10 points. The game tracks the current score, and last highest score.

When the player destroys all asteroids in field, the player goes to the next level. As the player gains more levels, the maximum number of possible asteroids in a field increases.

The player earns an extra life every 1000 points earned. The number of lives are indicated in the top-left of the screen.
