Jump back in time and start playing a fan favorite retro game from 1979 known to all ages. Visit space in your ship and avoid incoming dangers. Defend yourself by shooting at the threats and destroying incoming asteroids. The challenge is up to you. Protect the universe from destruction, don’t let the earth down, and save the Milky Way in Atari Asteroids.

HOW TO PLAY - Instructions

With only 5 lives to spare, it’s your task to destroy incoming asteroids. Some will just need a bullet, while others will split into smaller asteroids and be harder to destroy. Use the buttons on the screen or your keyboard to move the spaceship. Make sure to use high-speed reaction and dodging skills to extend your playing time without a scratch. But watch out! While you are avoiding incoming asteroids, more dangers are coming your way. Alien spaceships are trying to protect their planet and push you away with bullets. Dodge, shoot, and achieve your best high score anytime, any day.
