AstroRock has the same basic premise as Asteroids - earn points by maneuvering a ship through space in a gravity-free environment while avoiding collisions and blasting objects into tiny pieces before they shoot or ram you. Blow up your ship three times and it's "Game Over." After these basics, the similarities end.
First, AstroRock is in brilliant color with detailed 3-D graphics. Furthermore, the universe is filled with asteroids that contain goodies, like power-ups and weapons.
Atlantean gives you a reason to roam the universe blowing up things - it's in the name of rock 'n'roll, man. Set in the year 9999, AstroRock is the story of rebel rocker Zed Nepher (read Led Zeppelin) who needs your help to defeat some bad guys in the Bee-Gee cluster (is that Shadow Dancing I hear?).
And if you're victorious, Nepher will recapture the Hendrix System for all mankind. Head-banging guitar riffs for everyone!
