Blasteroids is the third official sequel to the 1979 multidirectional shooter video game, Asteroids.

Home computer versions were released by Image Works for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST,[4] Commodore 64,[1] MSX, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum.

To slow down or completely stop moving, the player has to rotate the ship to face the direction it came from, and generate the right amount of thrust to nullify its momentum.

This fuel comes in the form of "Energy" that is also used for the ship's Shields which protect it against collisions and enemy fire.

The ship can also be transformed at will into 3 different versions: the Speeder with greatest speed, the Fighter with the most firepower, and the Warrior with extra armor.

Once a sector is completed by destroying all the asteroids, an exit portal appears to lead the player to the galactic map screen.

Popcorn Asteroids require several hits, which expands their size, and eventually makes them stop spinning.

He will reappear in the next galaxy with a larger number of tentacles, making him harder to defeat.
