Asteroids Deluxe
1981 video game
Asteroids Deluxe is a multidirectional shooter arcade video game with monochrome vector graphics released in April 1981 by Atari, Inc.[2] It is the sequel to Asteroids and was designed to combat the saucer-hunting strategy of the original allowing experts to play for extended periods.[3][4] These modifications made it significantly more difficult and less accessible to players.[5] Ports of Asteroids Deluxe were released for the BBC Micro in 1984[4] and the Atari ST in 1987.[6]
The game was followed-up with Space Duel in 1982 and the more direct sequel Blasteroids in 1987.
