Space Duel is an arcade game released in 1982 by Atari Inc. It is a direct descendant of the original Asteroids, with asteroids replaced by colorful geometric shapes like cubes, diamonds, and spinning pinwheels. The player has five buttons: two to rotate the ship left or right, one to shoot, one to activate the thruster, and one for force field. Shooting all objects on the screen completes a level.

Played (with a friend) as part of Atari 50.

It's Asteroids again. Like actually the same exact thing but less cool looking. Docking half a star for being incredibly lazy. Playing the 2p modes with a friend is kind of interesting, but really nothing to last more than a few minutes.

A very lazy sequel to Asteroids. Basically just a color sprite swap.

It's Asteroids for two players... and should only be played with two players.

I do like the way the game is colorful and has cleaner geometric shapes but controlling 2 ships tethered together does not feel good

It's just Asteroids, but now there is COLOR! Sure, there is other stuff like multiplayer now and different objects to shoot up, but... FUCKING COLOR!

Game #185

Serviceable as Asteroids for 2 players but the single player mode where you control both ships is baffling.
