Stardust Review

Is it possible for one game to be the best and worst at the same time at what it is? And what if that game was a clone of beloved 70's arcade classic?

It's my take on the game I consider the best Asteroids-like title ever made, and it the same time I hate playing.

Was I wrong and it was just a gem that was so overpolished that it cut upon contact? Or was I dead right and it's best appreciated as an art piece and not a game?

Let me know what you think about it in the comments bellow.

I make those videos in my spare time and currently work towards replacing a mic, couple of bits here and there in my editing rig - as it has developed a nasty habit of crashing my editing software on a totally random basis - and hopefully a camera. So, if you like what I do here and feel generous, I would appreciate any help towards these goals. You can donate either via PayPal or Skrill or support me on Patreon. You don't have to though if you can't or don't feel like it. A like and Subscribe is greatly appreciated too!

For the purpose of creating this video I've used WinUAE emulator which I recommend to anyone at least semi-interested in Amiga gaming and not willing to spend money on real hardware. All that is required to play the games is:

The WinUAE emulator (https://winuae.net)
Amiga's kickstart file
ADF files with games

ADF files are disk images corresponding to floppy disks used for Amiga games. You can easily find them with a bit of googling usually by typing something akin to "game title adf amiga download". Same could be said about kickstart files but these can also be purchased via Amiga Forever website with one of their packs (https://www.amigaforever.com) or even cheaper (last time I checked it was $0.99) on Android as a part of Amiga Forever Essentials. And these files can be easily moved to PC.
