About Attack of the Killer Asteroids

Attack of the Killer Asteroids is a SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis homebrew game demo that takes inspiration from the arcade game Pang and adds some 1950s America B movie style to the graphics. 

The game has been created using the Scorpion Engine by earok and building on the demo provided by that Engine.

Let me know if you like this demo as it is a game I might consider developing further after I finish my other current project Super Robin for Sega Megadrive which is also being created using the Scorpion Engine.

How to Play

Destroy all the Asteroids to move onto the next level.

Shoot the UFO to release power ups which include

T - Extra Time

L - Extra Life

2 Shot Power up

4 Shot Power up

Bouncing Ball Power up

Controls

If playing on megadrive - B button is fire (if playing in browser on your phone it is button A)

If playing in browser - X button is fire

Credits

Powered by: Scorpion Engine by earok

Developed from a Pang demo for Scorpion Engine projects created by Nesso Games

Graphics by: Chris Clarke

Musician - TBC - would love some War of the Worlds type music to go with this game

Nice game, fun to play. I added it to the video along with other Amiga games released in December. Happy New Year! 🥳

Thank you

Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I placed your awesome game in December 2025s best homebrew games video.

Not at all - glad you liked  - If you cover Megadrive games have a look at Super Robin - that is a larger game but different vibe.

Thanks

Very nice game!
