Eat your heart out Asteroids!
CompuLOL16 October 2013
The game is a simple vector arcade shooter in which you basically ran around with your spaceship from a far atop view, in a square track; ie, the screen; which supposedly was some sector of the galaxy. Anyhow; there are other obstacles and competitors that make it more interestingly difficult. It also has been ported to other systems; yet the original arcade is still the best, IMHO. It's similar to Asteroids; except that you're bounded to the border. And your status is oddly displayed in the center of the screen; however I think that only adds to what makes it special. Finally; I still think this is better implemented and less boring (or at least repetitive) than Asteroids.

And on a related sidenote: I dunno what IMDb has now got to do with video games; but I guess they're expanding their entertainment reach, which is OK (I'm just saying that it'd best if there was a separate site called IVGDB, or something. Or a global like IEDB, instead of IMDb)
