Summary

A fun mix of classic arcade gameplay

The Good

You score points by smashing (shooting) asteroids & you lose points when you miss the asteroids & they hit the ground. You can have a negative score by the end of it but the game gives you your "peak score" when your run out of ships. This is a great point system, more interesting than most of the games of this time which were just based on racking up points. This makes for a more compelling game with a much higher replay value because your hits & misses are both factored in. The autofire option is also awesome.

The Bad

I wish there were a survival mode where when your points hit zero it would be game over.

The Bottom Line

A mix of Asteroids, Galaxian, & Missile Command with a more simple action feeling rather than a simulation feeling.
