In this two player game each player controls an artillery gun set in a mountain landscape with the goal of destroying the other player. Players take turns firing at each other.

On each turn you have a limited amount of time in which the barrel angle and powder level can be set in order to control the direction and distance of the shot. When deciding on your shot, you will need to take the current conditions into account, which includes wind speed/direction and any mountains that may get in your way. Successfully destroying your opponents gun will earn you a point, and the first player to reach the set number of points wins the game. There are multiple skill levels available which set the amount of time you have to make a shot.

In Assault, the player controls a futuristic tank, attacking the surface forces of an alien environment. Assault's main draw was its innovative controls and perspective.

The tank is controlled by two four-way joysticks. The standard movements, such as "forward" and "turn left", are executed in the same manner as with other tank games, such as Battlezone (i.e. push both joysticks away for "forward", pull the left joystick towards and push the right joystick away for "turn left"). But since the joysticks were four-way, two other moves could be executed. Pushing both joysticks away from one another (i.e. the left to the left and the right to the right) caused the tank to rear up towards its back end for a moment. When in this position, the player could fire a lethal nuclear blast instead of the standard shots when in the normal position. The tank returned to normal driving by pressing the joysticks back together, or by waiting a few seconds. If both joysticks were pushed right or left, the tank would roll (or strafe) to that direction.

In the later half of the 21st century a robot is indispensable item for mankind. The control system that manages these mechanical creatures suddenly plotted a revolt against the human race. It is up to you to save humanity.

There are two versions of this game. This one uses the control pad. The other used the Sega Light Phaser.

A superb shoot-'em up in all areas. The action is kept fast and furious and even though there are only six levels, it's quite a challenge.

Getafix, the Druid whose magic potion has kept his village from falling into Caesar's hands, has been kidnapped! Join Asterix and Obelix as they try to rescue the druid and save the village!

This arcade adventure captures the feel of the comic books very well, but the gameplay looks a bit tired.

Based on the infamous French comics, Asterix is an example of the old cliche - a platform licensed game. Asterix and his fat friend Obelix must battle through many levels to do something or other... the plot is irrelevant.

The platform action is fairly simple, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - there are loads of levels, some of which are quite large, and it's enjoyable enough to play through them. They are split into 7 rounds, consisting of 3 or so stages, which you can choose to play through with Asterix or Obelix. At the end of most rounds, you have to defeat a boss, which is no doubt another character from the world of Asterix.

The levels are quite varied, and the graphics are pretty good. There is pretty much every platform game feature you could think of - destroyable blocks, bonus pickups, water sections, ice sections, moving platforms, springs, bonus stages, and so on. The levels actually differ depending on which character you choose, so there's even more to play through - 42 levels in total.

Overall, Asterix is an accomplished if deeply unoriginal platform game - if you like this kind of thing, you'll enjoy it and if you don't, don't bother.

The player fights as either Asterix the Gaul or his best friend, Obelix, as they take on the 'might' of the oppressive Roman Empire. Asterix includes a variety of humorous fighting moves, which are demonstrated in the game's attract mode. The artwork and feel of Asterix remains true to its French source material, and the game's many humorous touches (such as the way defeated Legionnaires crawl away) will be instantly familiar to fans of the comic-book and cartoon series. Bonus levels - such as the chariot race that awaits at the end of the first level - introduce different gameplay elements to provide a break from the fighting.

You play as Asterix in standard platforming form, and must progress through several levels while battling with various enemies. The ultimate goal is to rescue your friend Obelix who is being held captive by Julius Caesar, and is in danger of being thrown to the lions. As such is the case, your enemies include Romans, but also the genre classic agitated animals.

Asterix and Obelix return for a new, wackier adventure in the Roman Empire. In 50 B.C.E., the town of Indomital (where you reside) still holds out against the invaders. In a desperate attempt to rule the empire, Caesar builds a fortress around the city, making it impossible for anyone who lives there to leave. So take control of Asterix, Obelix, or both, to travel to various parts of the empire capturing a souvenir from each to prove that the people of Indomital still have freedom.

Released in 1995 and developed and published by super company Infogrames, Asterix & Obelix, the 2D platformer/action title based on the wacky comic of the same name, received a look similar to the comic. Each level is designed with 2D movement forward, back, and into the screen, allowing gameplay on various levels. Take on hordes of soldiers, enemies, and creatures as you journey through forests, over oceans, and through an entire continent on your quest to prove Caesar a fool. Jump and hack your way to bonus points by defeating enemies and collecting items on your travels. Asterix & Obelix can also be played in a two-player co-operative mode where each player controls a character. Asterix & Obelix, available in English, French, or German, offers three game difficulties, a password system, the option to turn off the music, and the choice of using either Asterix or Obelix as player number one.

During the Roman occupation of France, a lone Gaul warrior arose from among his fellows to do battle with his largely incompetent foes. Meet Asterix, the undersized hero of the first French Resistance. Based on the hit European comic series.

Excellent concept, excellent games. I must admit to a certain bias, as I am a fan of the original comic, but even non-fans have found the games to be entertaining. Highly recommended.

The game is based on the popular French comics series Asterix. It is 50 B.C., and the entire Gaul (today's France) is conquered by the Romans. Only one village still remains independent, thanks to the incredible powers of its two great warriors, Asterix and Obelix. In the game, they must first of all liberate the village Orvio and rescue their friend Dogmatix.

You can play as either Asterix or Obelix. You make your way through platform levels, fighting enemies by punching them, and jumping to access higher ares or to avoid falling down. There are also some items you can collect, such as bombs, with which you can overcome obstacles and advance in the game.

Nice graphics, with some of the best sprites on the Master System, but the platform gameplay is just a bit too predictable.

Asterix and the Secret Mission is yet another platform game based on the French comic character. Much like Asterix, every level can be played as Asterix or Obelix, his clinically obese friend, and again the levels are different depending on which character you choose. There are 5 or 6 levels this time, far fewer than in Asterix, and again they are fairly simple, cliche-ridden platform levels - enjoyable, if you like platformers, but hardly ground-breaking.

The plot this time is that you must collect the ingredients needed for a magic potion... one per level. You have to find the ingredient before you can exit a level.

Overall, it varies from easy to tricky, and occasionally veers towards originality, but in the end is Yet Another SMS Platformer.
