Talk:Automap asteroids

Somebody should make a new version of ZDaemon to include this!


 * ;) As I understand it, they'd have to basically re-write it. -- Jdowland 18:35, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

I don't think the presence of Commander Keen Pong is particularly relevant, but I haven't yet removed it outright. Bloodshedder 18:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * With the addition of info on the Breakout game in Catacomb 3-D, I think that it helps to establish the fact that Automap Asteroids was to be just the next in a series of easter egg classic games. --Quasar 06:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I rewrote this to make it more consistent, as the menu games in Keen4-6 and Catacombs 3D are almost identical. None of these is an easter egg, so as Bloodshedder feels, I'm not sure exactly how relevant this section is.


 * I checked with other vintage id games (whatever was on the id Anthology) and found no other menu games like these. Cat3D and Keen4-6 seem to be the only games that do this. They also use the same menu system (same graphics and behavior). Zack 16:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I was so certain of this that I almost reverted, but it turns out you're right and I was crazy. Catacomb 3D's minigame is just another Pong clone. The only thing I can think of is that I was somehow confusing it with the Breakout minigame in the DOS game "Crime City," which can be played on your office computer. Oh well. --Quasar 02:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
