    How to play
    1. There is no build to download: get the code from the project's repository.
    2. Build it as its README says. What the build gives, a program to run or the original game rebuilt for an emulator, is written there too.
    3. The project's page says what it needs from your own copy of Asteroids, if anything.

From SubmitGame's list, read Oct 21, 2026, with releases, stars and licenses as each project's repository gives them. The steps are the same for every project of a kind: its own page has the details.

Under the hood: every project behind it, its license and code, how they connect, and who made them.

About

Asteroids is an arcade space shooter released in November 1979. The player controls a spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. The objective of the game is to destroy both, asteroids and saucers. The triangular ship can rotate left and right, fire shots straight forward, and thrust forward. Once the ship begins moving in a direction, it will continue in that direction for a time without player intervention unless the player applies thrust in a different direction. The ship eventually comes to a stop when not thrusting. The player can also send the ship into hyperspace, causing it to disappear and reappear in a random location on the screen, at the risk of self-destructing or appearing on top of an asteroid.
