Asteroids for PlayStation 1

This is an excellent example of retro gaming done right. By taking the old vector graphics-based classic Asteroids and revamping it with fully polygonal 3D graphics, Activision has pulled off a faithful, yet fresh, translation of the original shooter. Any of you who remember playing this classic game will find much to enjoy here. Wisely enough, developer Syrox didn't stray too far from the original concept. In Asteroids, you still rotate your ship with the goal of obliterating every last piece of space debris from the screen while trying to avoid an ugly death-by-collision. In this modern update, you still have thrusters and the ability to warp out of harm's way. Added to the basic concept is the introduction of power-ups. A large variety of weapons is available for the taking, including homing missiles, plasma swords, plasma drills, shield energy, etc. These power-ups randomly float by, giving you the opportunity to fly after them or simply wait until they drift by you.
