GLA A very good effort, and a very playable game! Yes, I played the original arcade Astroid back in the 80's, but for me the inevitable yardstick for this genre will always be Ambrosia's Maelstrom. So how does it measure up? Quite good! Certainly, the audio is much better, and the resizable window is a nice feature. The graphics are nice but need a few more iterations of polish to really stand out. As for playability, definitely good! The only thing I wish for is a mode with no (permanent) black hole in the middle, making it a more 'classic' experience. The 60 minutes play limit in the demo is reasonable and the price ditto.
