              Manufacturer: Atari
              Year: 1980

Descpription: Due to the success of Asteroids, a sequel followed in 1980 dubbed:

Asteroids Deluxe.

Though similar to the original game, several changes and additions occurred, with the onscreen
objects now tinted blue and a shield that depleted with use replacing the hyperspace feature.

In addition, the asteroids now rotated, a new enemy dubbed a killer satellite was added to the game,
and would break apart into two smaller ships that homed on the player's position if shot. Also included,
was a "3-D" monitor surround, that glowed in the white-uv light. The ship, and asteroids appeared to "float"
over this cardboard backdrop. Another two sequels followed this, Space Duel in 1982 and Blasteroids in 1987.
