I’ve always had particularly fond memories of the arcade game Asteroids, mainly because my grandfather Abe (who was in the vending business in Connecticut) got me an arcade-style — that is giant, stand-up — version of the game when I was a kid. It was set up to not require quarters, so I’d play it for hours in our basement.

Anyway, someone had the brilliant idea to do a mash up of the game where you play not as the spaceship, but as the asteroid: Asteroids Revenge.

Awesome.

I’ve only played it a bit, so maybe I’ve missed it, but my one compliant is: Where are the flying saucers from the old game that come in with wailing sirens and shoot bullets (or whatever) all over the place? Those were always the most fun part (and worth a lot of points).
