Played as part of Atari 50.
Fixes most of my problems with the original Asteroids on a surface level but still isn't really better by much, definitely less interesting overall since it's not even remotely as canonical as the original. The homing enemies do give you a real reason to move, but they come in 6 at a time and don't follow you past the borders of the screen which is really annoying to fight against. The shield is a lot more useful than the hyperspeed but it's less interesting and most times you'd want to use it you can also just move out of the way. Overall, it's fine, same as the original Asteroids.
