Blasteroids

Blasteroids was an unapologetic reinvention of the classic Asteroids arcade game. In the arcade Blasteroids offered crisp graphics and a spinner ship control superior to the old Asteroids turning buttons, along with armor, power-ups, and three distinct ship modes (a balanced fighter, a fast but weak scout, and a lumbering but heavily protected battleship.) On home computers such as the C64, a surprising amount of the arcade gameplay was preserved and many quarters were saved.

But it's no Hard Truck Apocalypse.
