I love this comment:

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Is this like that Donkey Kong movie or a movie about "a lone ship in it's quest against magically appearing asteroids"?

Is this going to be another "Super Mario Bros." movie?
The one everyone hopes to forget.

Really people......the strength of the game Asteroids is that there IS no f-ing story......
There's only one rule: SURVIVE. It's back to the very essence of life.

So what are we going to get:

- Will we finally know how "I" ended up in this spaceship in an Asteroids field ?
- Will we finally know why that area of space is so warped that there is no escaping it ?
- Will we finally know how then it is possible for aliens to enter and exit this warped space at will ?
- Will we finally know why the ---daisies--- are actually shooting at "me", as if I wasn't in too much ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- already ?
- Will we finally know if there is a happy end ? Impossible. All Asteroids games end the same. YOU DIE !

Anyway, we're going to get answers to questions I don't even _want_ to be asked.....

Plus, we've seen meteors been blown up with space shuttles in space before.....and man what a POS that film was.....
