Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of ASTEROIDS for the Atari 7800 Prosystem. This classic video game was originally released in the arcade in 1979, this Atari cartridge version was copyright 1984 but probably saw its way to the stores in 1986. Asteroids is viewed as a retro old school classic vintage gaming hit today and is still a lot of fun. You control a space ship in a field of cosmic debris and blast away at it with your lasers in a unique shoot em up SHMUP style that is seen today in games like Geomety Wars. Astoids has been remade many times for systems like the Xbox 360 Live Arcade XBLA, the Playstation and others, and will probably see the PS3 Playstation 3 at some point.

Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The HD series is reviewing PS3, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA.
