Ahh, asteroids, I used to be so good at that game, we had it on our first computer. When I try to play it on free game sites I tend to die within about two seconds.. which just shows how these games ain't what they used to be...
I miss that computer, it had the original Lemmings, the original Sim City, Rogue- anyone remember Rogue? My sister played all the way up to level 37, myth and rumour said there were only 40 levels but sadly at that point the 'puter suffered a somewhat terminal crash and we never found out.
And of course, Frontier:Elite II, my Dad's pride and joy. Cost him £40 back in the late eighties, and do you know it needed three 3 1/2 inch floppies! State of the art stuff, I'm telling ya!

I hadn't seen (nor heard of it) before. I am THERE! That was even Jeff Bridges if I am not mistaken! Oh happy day! I AM Master Control!!!
HB, I have the original game for PC. I'll try and dig it up later. You need MAME (arcade emulator) to play it. While you are downloading that little prog, also look for your blacklights. The original arcade game had them but hard to reproduce on the PC! LOL!!! (Quoting Message by kiamat from Sunday, August 16, 2009 9:06:40 AM)
