The Video Game Critic
This Atari 2600 classic needs little introduction. While not quite so addicting in 2004, this is still a fine adaptation of the vector-graphics coin-op.

The Atari Times
So, I would say to just overlook the cosmetic differences for this cosmic shoot-'em-up and enjoy, but hey, you already OWN this, don't you? Not too shabby, especially for something that was supposed to fail.

Digital Press - Classic Video Games
All in all, the VCS Asteroids is a more than adequate version of the arcade game. If you're expecting the graphics of the arcade game, you will be disappointed, but if you're looking for the gameplay that the arcade offered, Asteroids delivers in spades - and then some.
