Summary:
[Xbox Live Arcade] Two of the all-time classic arcade games come to Xbox LIVE Arcade in Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, a combo of intense action where players must save earth from a deadly bombardment of asteroids. The full historic game is available in its original form, along with a completely re-stylized version featuring evolved graphics. Released in 1979 by Atari, the simple black and white game was a masterpiece of vector graphics game design, and had millions of arcadegoers entranced by its simple mechanic of controlling a spaceship firing at and destroying asteroids.

Full-screen anti-aliasing and Dolby Digital surround sound complete the gaming experience. Throttle Monkey mode: Both game versions come with a high-speed version known as Throttle Monkey.
