Asteroids RX is a game originally written for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum by Allen Turvey as a "clean room" port of both arcade originals Asteroids> and Asteroids Deluxe. Pere Serrat (who converted the AGD game engine from the Spectrum to the Dragon and Coco computers) ported it over in April of 2023, and did some bug fixes in July. The game is closer in appearance to the arcade originals than the much earlier Star Blaster, and has extra features like being able to choose between having shields or hyperspace, re-definable keys for the game controls, and the choice of using the white or green color set. The closest to the arcade versions that I have seen on the Coco, unless the Coco 3 transcode version ever gets completed.
