Atari Asteroids is a cosmic-themed multidirectional shooter arcade game. Maneuver a solitary spacecraft in an asteroid cluster and beware of the oncoming flying disks! You must navigate your spacecraft by rotating and utilizing your thrust! Shoot and obliterate all asteroids and disks, but be cautious! Asteroids will fragment into smaller shards, and those drifting will reemerge from the edges. Each asteroid will reward you with 20 to 100 points. The gameplay will escalate in difficulty as you accumulate more points. The large disk will fire sporadically and inaccurately, but the smaller disk is far more accurate! It will also net you 1000 points! Remember to utilize the Hyperspace feature, but refrain from using it too often or your vessel might crash. Enjoy!
Use the keyboard to navigate the ship and shoot the asteroids.
