Meteors

About

Meteors is a 1982 shooter that follows the same formula as the classic arcade hit Asteroids. You control a small ship in space, dodging chunks of falling rock while firing to destroy them. The game plays much like its predecessor, with simple controls and increasing difficulty as meteors break into smaller pieces. Released for the BBC Microcomputer System, it's a single-player affair focused on high scores and quick reflexes. What sets Meteors apart is its straightforward approach. While it lacks the polish of later games, it captures the core loop of dodging and shooting with minimal fuss. Fans of retro gaming might appreciate the throwback challenge, though modern players could find it repetitive. It's a product of its time, offering a no-frills take on a well-worn formula.
