Asteroids Bombard XBLA Wednesday

November 26, 2007 9:29 AM

A combo pack of Atari's arcade classics Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe mark this week's Xbox Live Arcade release. Bundled as one game, the titles will arrive on the download service this Wednesday, November 28, selling for 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

Included in the rock-smashing bundle are both modernized HD graphics and the classic titles' original vector-based visuals, along with something called "throttle monkey" mode.

loved the original asteroids, if this captures that old feeling and also delivers with that new feeling of that whatever arcade game that's popular on the 360 (with the polygons/shapes/exploding), i'll be all over this.
