Description
     The biggest arcade hit in history hits again in earth shattering 3-D!

     Mind-altering graphics, innovative new features and explosive special effects transform the arcade classic into the ultimate intergalactic blastfest. Rock on.

Review
     While at first cool looking, the new coat of paint quickly begins to wear thin, especially with so few changes in the graphics as you progress. There's also some odd choices in the additional graphics. Besides asteroids, there are also canisters and giant metal structures that must be destroyed.

     That said, for the few dollars the game now sells for, it's at least worth the purchase just for the classic Asteroids
