Description
An early version of Retro Blaster turned into a full fledged game. This was the alpha for Retro Blaster. I gave this to Marc Manalli to make much prettier. This one stands on its own though because it is much closer to the original Asteroids than Retro Blaster. Steve Fulton, Chris Cutler, Marc Manalli, and John Little helped with ideas to turn this into Retro Blaster. It uses an early version of bitmap animation caching to help performace.

new game, called Space Eggs, has launched on 8bitrocket.com.We want more games on this site, so I have been going back and finishing up ideas of games I started a while back.

This was the alpha for Retro Blaster. I called it Space Eggs because supposedly the Asteroids in Asteroids have been replaced with alien eggs that you must destroy. Mainly I did this because I had trouble drawing asteroids and geometric shapes filled with gradients were the best I could do. It is a fun little shooter. Collect the "alien computer brains" to add extra weapons and abilities to your ship. The game has no official end, it just get more difficult as you proceed through the levels. One thing I spent the most time on was changing and improving the sounds and music from Retro Blaster as those existed in the alpha as well.
