Stardust is basically Asteroids, but with a lot of modifications to the basic gameplay. There are 30 standard levels split into groups of 6 – you can take these on in any order, but most fight an end-of-level bad guy once you finish all 6. While each level has the standard disintegrating rocks to destroy, all but 2 of them have extra bad guys, with a range of attack patterns.

There are a number of different weapons available, which are collected by moving your ship so that it crosses their paths as they float through space. Each of these can be powered up - some weapons start strong but can't be powered up as much as others; fortunately you can power up one weapon while using another. Extra lives, shield enhancements and a smart bomb are also on offer.

Along with the standard levels, there are also 4 tunnel levels, which involve shooting what you can and dodging everything else as you dart through a ray-traced tunnel, and 2 optional Thrust-style bonus levels in which lives can be won or lost.
