I haven't played a ton of this game, but it's definitely the best looking home port of Asteroids I've seen from that era, so it gets a place here. While the original vector graphics will always look cool (and make me wish for a vectrex port), the colorful art and soft shading in this port are rather unique looking, and I really enjoy it. It also claims to have two player modes, both co-op and versus, though I haven't tried those yet. Besides that, I can't say it's too different to any other port of Asteroids, but that's not a bad thing. Definitely worth a play.
