Asterix (Japanese: アステリクス, Hepburn: Asuterikusu) is a horizontal-scrolling beat'em up arcade game released in 1992 by Konami.
Asterix includes a variety of humorous fighting moves, which are demonstrated in the game's attract mode.
The artwork and feel of Asterix remains true to its French source material, and the game's many humorous touches (such as the way defeated Legionnaires crawl away) will be instantly familiar to fans of the comic-book and cartoon series.
At certain points during stages, Dogmatix will bring out either a vial of Magic Potion for Asterix, or a roast boar for Obelix.
Collecting these will grant brief invincibility, allowing Asterix and Obelix to rush about the screen and quickly dispatch enemies.
