HOW IT WORKS

Asteroids Game Download Free Pc

The problem with trying to navigate a 3D asteroids field is that you need to be able to see and dodge asteroids from all directions.

This is not possible in a standard one-view mode:

Any asteroids coming in from over or under, to any side, or behind the ship cannot be seen until the last moment.

To solve this, 3D Asteroids uses an unique 6 view split mode, so asteroids can be seen coming in from all directions :

While this may seem complicated at first, with practice is proves to be a unique gameplay experience.

There are two main aids to help viewing these 6 views at the same time:

This red X stays constantly in the main Front view, and shows where the closest asteroid to your ship is.

Keeping an eye on this at all times will direct your eye to the appropriate view needed to see and avoid the asteroid.

In the example above, the nearest rock is over the ship, and the red X tells us to look to the Above view.

3D Sounds

As an asteroid approaches your ship, you can hear what direction it is coming from due to the 3D sound effects in the game.

Sometimes it is even possible to jerk your ship out of the path of an incoming asteroid, without ever seeing it at all ! Epson l382 adjustment program free.

THE THRUSTER SYSTEM

3D Asteroids has an unique thruster system for controlling the ship.

This is easiest explained in the in-game Flight Training, so download the game and have a look.
