Continuing this week’s theme of Classic Arcade Games I present, for your paying pleasure, the classic Asteroids.
The controls are simple.
- Left and right arrow keys rotate your ship
- Up arrow key turns on the thruster
- Spacebar fires
- “P” pauses the game
- “Y” starts a new game
- “Shift” gives you the hyperspace jump.
There is only one problem with this game. After all of your lives are gone it basically locks up. That’s not too much of a problem though. Just refresh the page and you’re ready to go at it again!

It’s such a simple game (and concept), and yet it is still fun! I mean, the graphics are never going to amaze anyone (it’s just white lines for crying out loud), but a classic is still classic!
I love this game :)
but… I’m not really able to sit and play them, because before I know it, it’ll be 5 pm..lol
Had to have a quick play its been years since I played Asteroids I remember playing it years ago on the old Atari system and the classic tank game.
