3-D Asteroids

Atari 5200 · WOR

As the name implies, 3-D Asteroids is a demo created by John Seghers featuring 3-D Asteroids. According to John, this demo was created in direct response to GCC's version of Asteroids for the 7800 (then called 3-D Asteroids) which was being created around the same time. John decided to throw this demo together to show that the 5200 too could do real 3-D looking asteroids. It's unknown if this demo was intended to be a simple proof of concept or an idea for a new game.As this is just a proof of concept demo, there really isn't much to do in this prototype. Clusters of 3-D asteroids drift across the screen, spinning round and round. After a short time they will begin to break apart into smaller and smaller asteroids until the entire screen is full of tiny little asteroids. After a little while longer the asteroids will start to disappear one by one until the screen is empty, then the demo will start again.
