Asteroids in Your 89
Posted by Michael on 15 December 2003, 23:26 GMT

[Asteroids]David Coz has updated his smashing game, Asteroids. This grayscale arcade classic features 22 levels, three difficulty levels, and a shop for purchasing ship upgrades. Please don't hack into any hamburger computers afterwards.

If anyone hasn't noticed yet, the poll for the PC program of the year has been posted.

Man, PedrM still has quite a ways to go. My favorite game Drifter (Exracer in the archive) will not play on it nor will this game.

I always liked this game, however, I have never been able to get pass the 6th or 7th level. So I deleted it.

Not if you use PedroM! It does have PreOS built in...thus should work.

Umm, this is ateroids. It has nothing to do with PerOS. Second, as I pointed out, this does not work with PedroM.

OK! After HOURS of playing (plural because it was probably about 2 :) ) I fainally got to a level (7 or 8?) where it was unbeatable! one of the ships couldn't be destroyed. The bullets just went right through him and he was one of those that followed you around the screen. A skull was the picture on it. Is this a bug? or is there something I should know about how to kill it? Please let me know if you have an answer to this question...

I have passed level 6 or 7, the one with the skull. i shot it with the triple blaster, and it disappeared like the other enemies.

Yes, I played again and instead of moving really slow like it did before when I played, it moved REALLY fast...yet I could kill it, I just had to have LIVED a little longer... >:-#

So did you actually kill it, or not? And how?

Triple blaster...the triple shot weapon and the blaster at once? I thought you could only do one...
Well, I had the '??????' weapon when I killed him, but all the "shrapnel" from the other enemies killed me... :(

To get ur armour back after using up ur 4d bomb, if u make it back to the shop screen, select armor. I'm not sure if u need to add armor or need, but try it anyway. U should then have armour back. ;-)

LOL! That's me ;-) Though, I did know the whole "blue GIF" thing and the document.bgColor="crap";... but I guess that's not relative either. hehe, it's so easy to get off topic.

But, for the purpose of staying on topic... I think they keys are a little hard to control. Also, I realized I am very horrible at playing this game. It will probably take me a while to get used to the keys.

What I meant about being on topic is saying something RELEVENT (relevant?) to the topic you relpy to...you still are not on topic... :)

Also, don't worry about not being too good...even after playing the previous version, I started out dying on the 2nd lvl in this one. Also, just a hint...you start out with armor that you can use by pressing UP...you only have a limited amount of this though...

I played Asteroids for about an hour, and finally managed to get somewhere. On level 15, there is a ship the shape of a large skull, larger than the skulls on previous levels. This one follows you. my bullets go right through, and i can't kill it. Is this the same one as the one you were talking about JRock? How can i kill it?

I'm not so sure it was level 15...you know a level consists of three "rounds" of ships right? I think the skull I couldn't beat was on about level 6-8...

According to you, yeah I was probably on level 8. But the ship was the shape of a large skull, and was larger than the skulls on previous levels. This one follows you. my bullets go right through, and i can't kill it. How did you kill it?
