Celebrating 25 years of Asteroids.
By Koworld
Asteroids has been a part of our gaming heritage for 25 years now. Gosh, that is a long time. In celebration we fired up the mythical Asteroids cabinet in the make-believe Rodent office expecting a bit of rock-blasting.
Well, imagine our faces when that non-existent machine went a bit mental and began to scroll through images of games past-and-present, just occasionally stopping off for a round-or-two of Catchphrase.
Win a brand new Sony PSP
The machine looks like it could blow at anytime - oh no. Help rescue the Rodent team by identifying the games shown on our rogue vector monitor - or just do it because you're selfish and we're offering a brand spanking new Sony Playstation Portable to one lucky reader. Er, rescuer I mean. That's right - list the games shown below - send us an e-mail with your answers and everyone who names at least 10 correctly will go into a prize draw. First out of the hat then gets a nice shiny PSP.
We're too fucking good to you lot, we really are.
So, if you reckon Number 1. is 'Space Invaders' then write '1: Space Invaders' on your entry. Then read the rules on the left and then e-mail your entry to winner@retailkings.com. So, yeah, umm, sort out our renegade arcade machine then. Please. When you're ready. Because of postage and that this is a UK only competition. We're really sorry and hope our American readers won't hate us.
1.
Ooooh don't invade me arm, don't invade me leg. I bet loads of people get this one wrong as they search for an answer beyond the bleedin' obvious.
2.
Stay on target. Stay on target. In which game can you shoot an Ewok through the FRONT during a BATTLE?
3.
Indeed you are perp.
4.
Trust in the arrow, for the arrow does indeed point to the way of truth. Also the answer.
5.
Oh no! We are all damned. Possibly for the third time, I'm not sure - I've fallen asleep.
6.
A cock! Say what you see. Okay?
7.
Ahhh bless. If the graphics had looked this great on the real machine then I might have played on it more.
8.
Oh for crying out loud. Anyone who gets this wrong is an idiot.
9.
Weird.
10.
Gosh how super.
11.
This one isn't Teenage Mutant Ninja Heroes - even though one of the commandos looks like Donatello.
12.
Art for art's sake. That's not a clue - that's my own self-satisfaction.
