Blasteroids

Although the FPS on this game is poor, this is actually a close conversion of the arcade game it's based on. That is to say, it's just as brutally difficult to beat just as the original coin guzzler is.
The asteroids and ships are too big for the play area, so hitting the asteroids is near unavoidable. Your ship can change shape, but it either becomes too sluggish to avoid getting hit, or too vulnerable to withstand many a cheap shot the game throws at you. Mastering when to use these transformations is key to winning however. On top of that, your energy drains, so you can't even try to play it safe by taking your time. You have to rush through each stage.
When an arcade game feels unfair and out to drain your money (even if the difficulty is just brutal), you just give up. In the C64's case, there's not really much to play for once you defeat Mukor for the first time - which won't take long. Atari got it just right with the original Asteroids and it's deluxe variant, as playing it requires skill and feels fair. Blasteroids might actually be fair, but never feels like it is and is worse for it.

A decent arcade conversion but Zzap were quite generous to it with 83%. Mid to low sixties seems more appropriate as it gets boring very quickly.
Worth the few I paid for it on the Kixx label I suppose and its worth a load on an emulator these days for a quick blast.
Just don't expect to spend much time with it.

An interesting little asteroids clone. Unfortunately the music is as repetitive as the gameplay and starts again for every screen, so you constantly hear the same thing. Shame, as some great music could have helped this. Fun for 30 seconds or with a friend.

The original arcade game was awesome. It's amazing that they fit it on a C64, but it's really just not as fun here.

I own the Kixx version of the game, and sadly after defeating the Mukor, the game crashed! It was a good game what I played of it.

A decent, playable game between Asteroids and Peng! , playable tho' a bit repetitive and not that good graphically. Interesting the music in-game, let's go, destroy that ass-faced Mukor!!! ("Asteroids on steroids".. LOL genius!)

Nice little asteroids clone...

Cool little game - this version feels a little 'stiff' compared to the arcade and Amiga versions, but it's a fun little blaster nonetheless. Zero lastability, but it's still probably the best Asteroids variant on the C64.

Hyped at the time. Now time seems to have forgotten it. Was a cool Asteroids clone with better graphics etc.

Asteroids on steroids.
