Collector interest

A faithful port of Atari's Asteroids cabinet, published by Accolade in the US. The game itself is austere and minimal, with no real playing aura, and loose copies stay trivial. Desirability rests solely on the scarcity of sealed examples of an early third-party Atari catalogue title on Game Boy. An inventory piece for Atari or Accolade completists, not a game chased for its play value.
