Fans of the classic 80s Asteroids arcade game are going to love this. Scifi.co.uk has created a game based on Asteroids which brings the format squarely into the 21st century. It’s called Desktop Blaster. Cutting edge Adobe Air technology allows the game to turn your actual desktop into an asteroid field. Your very own folders and icons float around the screen while you pilot a spaceship, blasting the files as you go – and just like the original game you’ll even find a UFO taking pot shots at you as it flies across your screen.
You can even choose which drive or folder you want to decimate (temporarily of course). If you’ve ever fantasised about blowing up your business spreadsheets, or images of your ex now’s your chance. Adobe Air takes less than a minute to install and is going to be taking over the internet in the coming months as it’s used for more cool games. This is evolution of Asteroids is a true original and a great example of what the technology can do.
