Official description

For those unaware few, the original Asteroids arcade game had players piloting a wedge- shaped spacecraft through an asteroid field, pulverizing the rocks into progressively smaller chunks. It was brilliantly simple and--still today - entirely addictive. Crave Entertainment's new take on this classic provides Nintendo 64 gamers with 3-D graphics and plenty of clever upgrades and new features. Pilots now choose between three varieties of spacecraft, each with unique firepower, shield levels, and maneuverability. Dodging and weaving among the floating obstacles, players progress through 50 levels, demolishing and avoiding comet-like asteroid projectiles, space junk, and species upon species of aggressive alien beings and ships, as well as the classic, garden-variety asteroids. New weapons and power-ups occasionally float by, providing much-needed boosts of firepower or, say, the ability to temporarily ram enemies or asteroids into oblivion. Extensive multiplayer features include competitive, cooperative, and team play variations.
