Hi Shaun, Well, I can say that Asteroids 98, a remake by Activision for Win 98, wasn't boring. Besides better graphics and sounds it had a more complete plot than the original Asteroids of the 1980's. Basically, the in-game story was you were sent out to stop these asteroids from hitting earth. As you played you found out the asteroids were a weapon used by an alien race, the crystal aliens, who were trying to start a war with Earth and whipe us out. Of course, besides asteroids there were space snakes, UFOs, and even space probes. There were a number of different types of asteroids like ancient energy asteroids, indestructable asteroids, etc which made things certainly interesting. Asteroids 98 was awesome.
