Description

Its not vector. Shoot the asteroids into pieces and shoot the pieces into itty-bity pieces, and then (due to 8-bit physics) they disappear when shot. Destroy them all and the screen fills up with asteroids again. Watch out for the occasional UFO. Move around with thrusters if you want, or teleport to a random place, or even shift phase to pass through solid objects.

Hacks:
Arcade Asteroids is fixed to look more like the arcade version. It is one of the games for the flashback Atari Flashback 2.0.
