Sirius

Just about everybody has played Asteroids in their life, haven't they? Well, if you're one of the few that haven't, the point of the game is to shoot asteroids (giant space rocks) with your spaceship, and not allow asteroids or alien ships/bullets to hit you.

Now here we have Sirius, pretty much like the other Asteroids games, except for one major thing: The point of view is amazingly different! Instead of looking down at the entire playing field, you are now on a horizontal level and the ship and asteroids are right in front of you, in 3-D!

Due to such a major deviation from traditional Asteroids, the experience has changed a lot even though the core gameplay is almost identical.

It's a little bit harder to aim and to navigate your ship in the right direction. To compensate for this extra challenge, your ship is now a lot stronger, and it can take several hits before being destroyed (compared to the usual one hit).

With all that in mind, this is a game to remember. Worth a download just to see it, even if you don't care much for Asteroids or similar games.
