Atari's 1979 arcade hit re-imagined. Play in Classic or Deluxe modes. Dodge and destroy asteroids, flying saucers, and homicidal satellites, but watch out for the black holes!
Evade trouble by a whisker with hyperspace, shield, and flip, but be careful these daring dodges don't bite back. Use them too much or too long and you'll be toast.
My tribute to Atari's 1979 Spacewar! inspired outing, Asteroids. Shoot The Rocks has all the classic elements from the most popular variants of the game: hunks of rock floating in space, flying saucers, hyperspace, shield, and flip. This version also comes with a twist, black holes inspired by the central star in Spacewar, which float across the screen and influence every object in play.
As with Star Citadel, I offer both a new and a classic variant. The classic variant more closely resembles the mechanics of the original arcade machine. The new variant is intended to be more accessible to modern gamers, and changes the game mechanics somewhat: asteroids that take multiple hits to destroy, black holes, power-ups, and a few more tweaks here and there.
Simply marvellous! The best Asteroids ever made, by far!
The best, nay, the ULTIMATE version of Asteroids you've never played! Awesomely and infuriatingly addictive!
Get your late-disco, early nu-romantic shoes on with this classic remake. Star Castle gets a facelift and comes back fighting. From the sharp vector graphics to the Bebop-esque soundtrack, this game's got style.
Play in Classic or Modern modes, and enjoy the benefit of power-ups in the latter. Watch out for those pesky mines, though!
My first HTML5 and JavaScript game, inspired by seeing the old arcade game Star Castle, by Cinematronics, in the excellent documentary, Atari: Game Over. This game provided Howard Scott Warshaw with the inspiration for Yars' Revenge on the Atari 2600 but I thought it was so cool I decided to write my own homage to the arcade original. Featuring classic vector graphics, a funky soundtrack, and pitting your tiny ship against a well-defended foe, here's my take on Star Castle.
Based on some kind feedback from Vistico93 on YouTube I added a classic version of the game, which more closely mimics the mechanics of the original, in addition to my own take, which I hoped would be more accessible to modern gamers. If you want the classic version just hit Play Classic in the game menu.
Star Castle never looked this good: it's like being inside a fireworks display!
Can I use the word "charming" to describe a game? I think I can. This version of Star Castle is both charming and brilliant!
How can we have a classic games arcade without Space Invaders? Answer: we can't.
So coming soon we've got a beautiful vectorised version of the iconic space shooter that gave birth to an entire genre, and unquestionably one of the biggest games of the golden era of arcade games. This is going to be awesome, and you're going to love it.
I haven't even seen it yet and I already know this is going to be the best Space Invaders ever! I haven't slept in weeks for thinking about it.
These games are amazing: I spent so much time playing, I got fired from my job and my wife left me. I now take food and fluids intravenously, and have been fully catheterized, so I don't have to stop - except to sleep occasionally. Arcade.ly is without doubt the best repository of classic arcade games you can play online!
