| I'm talking about the Indiepath Asteroids game featured on the homepage. Thanks for creating and sharing such a superb clone, and giving it away for FREE too! From the sound effects, the movement and the look and feel, down to the old, worn out screen, faded black/grey background and the burned in text (just like in the old arcade game where bright text burned into the crt) - genius!!! Is there a hyperspace button or did that come later ? I must go and read the readme! DOWNLOAD this now, it is brilliant! (go here): http://www.indiepath.com/ IPete2. |

| Sweet!! It is simply Brilliant! Fantastic job guys! |
| ||
| Yes it is an awesome remake - plays really well, and it's free too! Fantastic, thanks :D You should submit this to PC Zone magazine (UK) who are doing a new 'free play' feature - you could get a *lot* of publicity from this! In the meantime I shall happily play it in the odd 5 minutes here and there! |

| Excellent remake:) |
| ||
| Thanks people, feedback like this makes it worth every second I spent on it. There is no hyperspace button since I opted for the shield instead. If you want hyperspace then I can do that for you :) Let me know... Tim. And Caff I will take your advice on that PC magazine thing |

| Uploaded a new version with Hyperspace added. Press "SPACE" for Hyperspace :) |
| ||
| My my :) |
| ||
| Really nice. It's true what they say. The old ones are the best ones. |
| ||
| Anyone had any problems when using a Joystick ? |
| ||
| How do you, you know, PLAY it? I get to the screen where it says "One coin one play," but I don't have any coins. :( |

| I agree with this thread totaly.. I found this remake very inthralling. Everything looked, sounded and played authentic. It was a joy to relive the days when video games were making their presence known... Congrats to Indiepath on a very clean and enjoyable retro-remake.. ( this one i've moved to CD for safe keeping :) ) |
| ||
| yes .. really sweet. polished remake. can't fault the remake. 2 thumbs up. |
| ||
| :) |
| ||
| Now has background atmospheric sounds... |
| ||
| Due to the massive popularity of this remake we have given it it's own site and domain. www.asteroids.indiepath.com We have also released a new version with on-line scoreing, additional gameplay, new weapons and realtime glow effects. Pop on over and download today. |
| ||
| so its not a "FREE GAME", its a "FREE DOWNLOAD"???? with thirty seconds of gameplay before the game cuts out???? or am I doing it wrong??? |
| ||
| 30 seconds are not enought... :( Well, I want to say that I really like this game ! You have done a very good job with the sounds effects ( very good the atmospheric arcade gaming ). But with your last version, there is no game pad support ?? I played a lot this game on the original Vectrex, called ( I think ) "Mine storm". I should be cool if you can had shadow effect when the sprites are moving. I think the game run in 16bit, it could be better to have a 32bit image background for more "polished" grey/black bakground. And what about put an option to let the game run syncing the monitor refresh rate for more smoth ? Well, I will search if can can find a Vectrex, I want to play it now... |

| There was a "FREE" version of this game, and indeed over 4000 people downloaded it within the last 14 days. You can still get the free version on the majority of the shareware sites. @Reno : OKay I give in, you now have 60 Seconds to play. Also VWAit is implemented as standard.. |
| ||
| its pretty, I will say that. Good job on the look. I was just a little disappointed that I only got thirty seconds... |
| ||
| You've now got 60 seconds :) |
