One of the most popular and influential titles from the golden age of arcade games, Asteroids is an elegantly simple game. And now you can enjoy a taste of old-school gaming with a new twist with fast and simple access to the fun and highly addictive Asteroids game right from your toolbar or ALOT home page. Just click the button to launch the game window and launch into some classic Asteroids gameplay. Similar to the original game, this colorized version of Asteroids will provide you with hours of entertainment, and perhaps a little nostalgia. The object of Asteroids is simple: score as many points as possible by destroying asteroids and flying saucers. Use your keyboard's arrow keys to maneuver your spaceship - the left and right arrow keys rotate your ship left and right, the up arrow allows you to thrust forward and the down arrow allows you to teleport - and the space bar to fire. Also, you can hit the Control key to use your rapid spin powerup. Each large asteroid you hit breaks up into smaller asteroids that frequently move faster and are more difficult to hit. Smaller asteroids also score higher points. Periodically the flying saucers will appear. And watch out, because they shoot back at you. Get hit by an asteroid or the saucers' counter-fire and your ship will be destroyed. Lose three ships and it's game over. Destroy all the asteroids to complete each level. The number of asteroids increases with each round. So see how many rounds you can clear and shoot for the high score! Enjoy a gaming classic right from your toolbar or ALOT home page with Asteroids.
