Blasteroids is the third official sequel to the 1979 multidirectional shooter video game, Asteroids. It was developed by Atari Games and released in arcades in 1987.[3] Unlike the previous games, Blasteroids uses raster graphics instead of vector graphics, and has power-ups and a boss.
The game was based in The United States.
Home computer versions were released by Image Works for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST,[4] Commodore 64,[1] MSX, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum. An emulated version of Blasteroids is an unlockable mini-game in Lego Dimensions.
