...It seems as though you've been here before - but this time, it's much worse! The Asteroids are faster, the enemy ships are much more skilled marksmen than your first time through this galaxy...and what's this odd hexagon-shaped craft I keep hearing about? Asteroids plunge at you! Trapped in a gigantic cloud of asteroids, your struggling spaceship hurls towards its doom. You'll have to pulverize all the asteroids with your photon cannon to save your ship and your life!

Rubble from an exploding asteroid bounces off your ship's hull. A glowing blur flashes across your viewing screen. So that's where the rubble came from! The asteroid was blasted by an Alien Robot Saucer! Alien Robot Saucers are also trapped in the asteroid cloud. And they fire at you! You know that the metal in your ship's hull will register on their target finders before the asteroids do. The saucers could be a worse danger than the asteroids! More rubble strikes your ship. Its hull rings like a bell. If you don't get busy, that could be your death knell!

Robert DeCrescenzo brings another classic Atari arcade game to the Atari 7800: Asteroids Deluxe! If you're a fan of the original arcade game Asteroids or its sequel, Asteroids Deluxe, you'll want to grab your joystick and start blasting! Asteroids Deluxe brings new graphics and gameplay elements into play, such as the Killer Satellite that when shot breaks into smaller pieces that take direct aim for your ship! There are also two new game variations: Competition Asteroids where you compete against another player for points (and your shots destroy the other player!), and Team Asteroids where you and another player share reserve ships and don't need to worry about friendly fire. Asteroids Deluxe for the 7800 is an extensively modified version of the original Atari 7800 game Asteroids.

Includes cartridge and four-page, full-color manual. Available in NTSC and PAL television formats, please specify above when ordering.

Hey, my original review of this game sucks and I'm embarrassed by it. I started playing Asteroids Deluxe at length last year and it's great. I'm upgrading this to a 5 star must buy.

This homebrew is perfect! What a perfect game for those of us that wished Atari made Asteroids Deluxe for their consoles. Finally after all these years.I can play Asteroids Deluxe at home.

Hey, it's Asteroids. Dig it. The original Atari 7800 version is pretty great, so if you don't have a lot of cheese to spend or you are not an Asteroids fan to begin with, I would suggest spending your money or some of the other funktastic Atari 7800 homebrew.

Properly reprogrammed in a spectacular vector-like fashion, players are in for a treat in receiving a 2-in-1 deal. Both Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe are presented in splendid detail and all the action with excitement recalled from the Arcade originals.

The physics are fantastic providing excellent gameplay with the aforementioned graphics, simple yet effective sound effects (as is the case with Arcade original), all being wonderfully showcased here.

Details spent on AI, including the various behaviors of the enemies is recreated very well, once again blurring the line between Arcade original and this must have port on the 7800. It is without question, a very much recommended title and awesome edition to your gaming collection.

Asteroids Deluxe is amazing - light-year's better than the GCC(Atari) produced version, for the 7800. Programmer Bob DeCrescenzo outdid himself, replicating vector graphics combined with near-perfect arcade action! Asteroids Deluxe is a non-stop, insane challenge!I find myself laughing like a kid, every time I get blasted by a UFO! Thank God I am not pumping quarters into this thing!
In addition, I love the label artwork - colorful and exciting - reminiscent of the original arcade cabinet art. Too bad Atari chose the drab silver and black scheme for 7800 labels.
