Synopsis

Asteroids Deluxe is a multidirectional shooter arcade video game with monochrome vector graphics, released in April 1981 by Atari, Inc. It is the sequel to Asteroids (1979) and was designed to combat the saucer-hunting strategy of the original, allowing experts to play for extended periods; however, these modifications made it significantly more difficult and less accessible to players. Ports of Asteroids Deluxe were released for the BBC Micro in 1984, the Atari ST in 1987, and the Atari 7800 in 2024. The game was followed by Space Duel in 1982 and the more direct sequel Blasteroids in 1988.
