Two different versions of this game exist. One shows a (c) 1981 ATARI, INC. title screen, the other doesn’t.

There is code in the program that displays reserve ship icons, but it was disabled.

I could play that Game FOREVER! With Difficulty A, fast Asteroids and Hyperspace activated it's a nice Challenge and faithful Conversion of the Arcade-Game. Never gets boring! Space Rocks maybe a bit more varied and technically superior, but i couldn't say which Game is better! They're both Classics!
