Asteroids series - Cane and Rinse No.397 (Patreon)

Marking its 40th birthday, we celebrate one of Atari's most iconic, influential and successful arcade games from the so-called 'golden age': Asteroids. Leon, Jesse, Michiel and guest Dan Clark unpack the appeal of the stark space shooter, as well as spinning through its three official sequels (Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel and Blasteroids), as well as a glittering cluster of conversions, ports, remakes and spiritual successors, with Jesse and Michiel bringing some special love for Mine Storm on the Vectrex.Music used in this issue:1.
