Following on from Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe, Atari visited the same formula again with a further evolution. This time the game adds colour, the asteroids are replaced with geometric shapes that change design from level to level, and the second player can either be a team mate or an opponent. The colour vector graphics was a nice surprise to me, and it it looks like 8 colours are possible in this game. The gameplay mechanic is identical to the earlier games, so you can easily just drop into this one and enjoy the new features. The game was released to arcades in 1982.
This run was played using the Steam version of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration on PC. The date of play was the 23rd April 2023. The final score was 8,490 points.
Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is just that, a celebration of 50 years of Atari. Although there have been many Atari game compilations over the years, this one is the best yet, lovingly put together with many documents and features within it. It's like visiting an interactive museum.
