Megaroids

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Megaroids is a freeware video game developed by Mike and Mitch Bunnell, released in 1985 by Megamax Inc. for Atari ST. It came with the Megamax C compiler / GEM developer's kit as a demonstration of its capabilities and Megaroids was included also in the early Atari ST sales packages.

Megaroids is a clone of the Asteroids game, but unlike the other Asteroids versions and majority of the games available for Atari ST, it worked also in the monochrome mode and integrated with GEM.
