How to play Asteroids

Use the keyboard controls decribed below to maneuver your ship, destroying as many asteroids as possible while avoiding collision with them. Also watch for the flying saucers as they can shoot back.

If you warp into hyperspace, your ship will momentarily disappear then reappear on your screen, gradually fading in. During this free time your ship is invunerable.

After screen has completely loaded including the sounds, click on the playing area and then follow the controls below:
