Asteroid Blast

I remember spending hours as a kid, glued to my screen, blasting away at pixels vaguely resembling the objects they were supposed to represent. Imagination was a major part of gaming back then, and even with the high-end graphics available to me nowadays, I still get a kick out of retro style games. Asteroid Blast satisfies that craving, and does it well, giving you a classic game feel right on your BlackBerry device. I bought the app and got right down to playing, and to be honest, it took me a while to remember to put it down and write this post. Gameplay is smooth and the graphics are simple, making this a great time-wasting addition to any device. Available for all devices, both touch and non-touch running OS 4.2 and up, it's available in the CrackBerry App Store for $4.99.

Contest: We have 25 copies of Asteroid Blast to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.

joe18

I love this game. I used to play it all the time.

svanneck

I remember this game and others like it (e.g. Tempest) that were vector-based. In an era where 320x160 pixels was all you got on most arcade boxes, the black-and-white vector graphics looked astonishingly high-res. The beauty was that instead of having the electron beam sweep across the entire screen refreshing an array of pixels, it would just draw the line segments it needed. The result was smooth (albeit polygonic) shapes and super-responsive action.

Would love to get a copy of this!

Mailyfesux

Would like one. Thanks!

Asteroids---brings me back to my college days spent at the on-campus pub (the "Rat") when NJ allowed drinking at 18-years-old (back in the '70s). We were hooked on Asteroids and with beer in hand, spent many happy hours firing away at the asteroids. Some of the best times I ever had!
