"Another incarnation of the classic Asteroids game, Vectoroids' unique

originally implemented as an Agenda VR3 palmtop game, but has since been
transformed into a full color PC game.

FreeStyle Review |
Vectoroids is probably the best freeware Asteroids clone available for the PC.
Keeping the gameplay and graphics faithful to Atari's original, Vectoroids is
a compact and stylish retro blast.

- "Yeah man Vectoroids is MAD fun!" - Mike Faltiss
- "I love this game... [5 out of 5] This game is amazing. Cool graphics,
cool sound and I love the precise controls. This game is fun and once you
start you just can't stop. All it lacks is a real high score table, it just
records your highest score ever anddoesn't save a name or initials with it."
