Description
Color vector game where player's ship shoots colored geometric shaped "asteroids", mines, enemy ships, and opposing player's ship. A bonus wave adds a multiplayer to the player's score when all bonus objects are shot.
Trivia
Unofficially, this game is Asteroids 3.
Instructions
This game is a two-player color version of Asteroids. It has two different modes of play: competitive and team. In competitive mode, each player competes for points. Players can shoot each other for bonus points, but they don't lose a ship. In team mode, the two players are attached together by a "filament". Each player's ship can move and shoot independently while still being attached.
This Machine
The cocktail version of Space Duel is probably the best way to play space duel. Simultaneous, head to head, dual player action... What's not to love?
I have also developed a free play hack for Space Duel which works on the cocktail, makes it that much better.
