Asteroids - Atari Jaguar

Asteroids was a homebrew project for the Jag.
As you can see, there is something wrong with it, but I think it has to do with it being programmed for a PAL screen.
I know it's possible to edit the source (if available) and modify it so it works just as well in the NTSC region, but this is the only version I have.
It would be great if someone polished the game up a bit.

the Jag could have made more of a dent if they just would have done more classic game upgrades such as Missle Command 3D and Tempest 2000

@neoviper76 And even if it didn't make much of a difference in the market itself, it surely would have just added to its library. Those classic upgrades are some of the best on the system.

I bet a Neogeo could never do something like this!

Inferior machine!

This is a homebrew.

Nice to see this homebrew running.  When you say there is something wrong with the PAL version what do you mean? I can't see any noticible mistakes?

[viMasterJag]

What I mean is, because it's programmed for PAL (50 Hz, I think) it has problems on NTSC (60 Hz) screens.

It has to do with flickering colors that you might not be able to detect in this video.

@GameGeek117 There are a lot of things that could be done to improve this, for sure. I don't think the author is planning on doing it, though. It would be cool to get the source for this and do some enhancements and finish it up.
