Asteroids Recharged

Step Back Into the Golden Age of Arcade Gaming with a Modern Twist! 

Asteroids Recharged is the fifth version of Atari’s Asteroids to come to the arcade scene, following Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel, & Blasteroids. The player controls a spaceship that is surrounded by asteroids where they must shoot them for points and survive. When an asteroid is hit, it splits into two smaller pieces. Shoot one of those pieces again and it splits again into smaller, faster asteroids. Once the smallest asteroids are shot, they disappear from the screen. Each time the rocks are smaller, they change in point value, but by hitting the asteroids in succession (i.e., landing each shot and not missing), there is a bonus multiplier that can increase points. 

In this version of Asteroids, the game includes a number of power-ups to give the player the upper hand. This includes Explosive Bullets, 7x Burst shot, Deflectors, and more. It also supports two players at the same time. 

Thanks to the arcade cabinet, players get to use the same button controls that the original had with a LEFT & RIGHT ROTATE button to adjust your direction; FIRE to shoot; THRUST for forward motion on the screen; HYPERSPACE to jump to a random point on the screen to escape dangerous situations. Just note: When using the Hyperspace function, there is a small chance where your ship will overload and explode. So be careful and don’t overuse it!
