Ahhh, your game reminds me of Maelstrom -- even though all the sprites were prerendered, the sprites were rendered in 3D and I spent so many hours on it...

Oh man. I spent so many hours playing Maelstrom on my LC 475.. Through your wiki link I discovered that Ambrosia open sourced the game - there are even OSX binaries. https://www.libsdl.org/projects/Maelstrom/binary.html

Nice! That looks like fun. I'd really like to do a more complete asteroids remake and put proper time/thought into the design + aesthetic—it's one of my favorite games strictly for gameplay.

I actually did another version 15 years ago, too—incidentally it was my first ever OpenGL app "JAVAsteroids": http://symbolflux.com/statichtml/oldprojects/javasteroids.ht...

Did you know about Asteroids? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game)

Probably the true pioneer in the genre, although not 100% sure.
