Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
And even if your not a collector, Asteroids is a great game. When I got it for the Atari 2600 a few weeks ago, I fell in love with it. It had plenty of difficulties, and different power ups/game modes that will satisfy your Asteroid-destroying fix.

For those who say this game is easy, is correct... if you don't change the game mode. Game mode 1 is easy, but other game modes will test your skills, especially the ones with UFO's and Satellites. There's also modes that change your power up, Power ups include a "Shield" which makes you immune to incoming Asteroids for 2 seconds. Another is "Hyperspace" where you appear in another location randomly on the map, and my favorite, the mode with no power ups.

As for the graphics, its not vector based, but its close enough. Also, the Asteroids are colored for some reason, but I don't actually mind this, because they remind me of colored marshmallows, and I love me some Marshmallows.

Honestly, when I play asteroids, I always have some marshmallows to munch on.

As for Asteroids, its a great game... so get it.

This is a very cool, highly addictive, classic Atari game. It is a fun today as it was when it was released. A must have for any Atari 2600 fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asteroids. July 1, 2009
By M. King
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
This is a popular game on the atari. It is one of my favorites too. The purpose is to shoot all of the asteroids and alieen space ships that come and try not to get hit buy bullets or asteroids. The music and sound is catchy and fun to listen too. The graphics r not that good but is is the atari. It is hard to control the ship sometimes but the joystick makes it easy sometimes. It is really fun on multiplayer but u have to take turns like most atari games. This is a fun old popular game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but a little too easy
This game is very fun and is a Atari 2600 classic. But I felt the game was a little too easy. I managed to get over 99,999 points before the score card resetted itself. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Like The Arcade!!
This game is one of the closest you will get to an arcade port. This game is tons of fun from the alien spacecraft, to the teleporting(or hyperspace whatever they call it). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greats.
I own many atari games, as a collector I play dozens of these, and asteroids is one of my favorite 2600 releases, aside from the easy difficulty (which does increase as you play)... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars not arcade-perfect but it gets the job done
Graphics were okay, although people expecting the 2600 to reproduce the vector graphics of the arcade version will be disappointed big time. Read more
