Asteroids Deluxe

Atarisoft's Asteroids Deluxe for the BBC Micro was ready, but never released due to Atari reorganising itself after the Video Game Crash. It has, fortunately, survived. Written by Paul Skirrow. he player's objective in this game is to shoot and destroy as many asteroids, saucers and enemy ships as possible before your spaceships are destroyed. A ship is destroyed if an asteroid, a saucer from an enemy ship crashes into it, or if a killer saucer shoots at it. To avoid losing a ship, the player can press the Thrust button to move out of the path of an oncoming object. As an emergency maneuver, a player can press the Shield button. A shield will then appear around the player's ship as protection against all enemies, but the power only lasts for around 10 seconds.
