Today I played the Atari 2600 version of Asteroids again...just to see how well it played to the arcade version. I know a lot of people don't like the port to the 2600, but I think it is pretty decent. Asteroids is one of my favorite classic video games...and while the home version on the 2600 isn't as hard or as "arcade perfect"...it's pretty good for the time. If I had been a kid at the time, I feel like the Asteroids version for the 2600 would have been great. It's definitely way better than the abomination that is the PAC-MAN port for the 2600. It's a good solid game and I like the fact that the asteroids are different colors as opposed to the original arcade vector graphics. Though...the vector graphics are pretty exquisite if you manage to find a solid original cabinet.
Also, congrats to one of my favorite podcasts...Retro Gaming Roundup, on their 10 year anniversary.
