SPECIAL NOTICE: Our weekly score chasing recap live stream on Twitch is now Sundays at 6:30am PST (GMT-8). For a couple years we did this show on Saturday mornings but we’re moving to Sundays instead. Hopefully this doesn’t conflict with attending church, but there’s always the VOD if you miss the live stream with Brady and I.
This week’s featured games are: Asteroids (arcade 1979) and a modern remake: Asteroids: Recharged.
Season 3, Week 9 of Score Chasing begins Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 12:00:01 PST (GMT-8) featuring Asteroids, the arcade version and bonus score chasing for modern remake Asteroids: Recharged. This article will tell you everything you need to know about how to join our group and play both games.
PLEASE NOTE: this score chasing event is for adults, age 18 and older, so if you aren’t yet 18, then please return when you are.
First, let’s learn more about Asteroids (Arcade). How is the game played via
Your space craft is dangerously situated among fast moving asteroids in an asteroid belt that can destroy your ship on contact. Armed with a front mounted weapon and the ability to hyperspace, you fly through the debris, destroying each rock one piece at a time. Alien saucers visit the playfield from time to time with an eye towards destroying your ship!

This will take you directly to the official PGM iScored Score Chasing Scoreboard at the spot where you will enter your score on Asteroids (Arcade). Where can you play? Here are a few suggestions (alphabetical order) but is not a complete list by any means:
- Arcade – yes, check your local area for barcades, arcades, mallcades, etc. You might have an arcade machine nearby and play might still be a quarter!
- Various Emulated / MAME / CoinOpsX / etc – emulated versions are allowed, but we do not typically link to these sources.
- Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch – search the stores for consoles for “arcade archives” as sometimes there are licensed versions of the games we feature available.
Now that you have located where to play, simply start playing to establish your personal best score. The goal of score chasing is not a typical leaderboard high score, be the top score tournament. We simply want you to play and beat your personal best.

UPDATE 11/3/2024 @ 10:51am PST: The mode we are playing for score chasing is arcade -> recharged with powerups enabled. It’s the default first mode and is one life only. During the stream this morning I demonstrated playing this mode several times.
LIVE on Sunday November 10, 2024 at 6:30am PST (GMT-8) we will recap prior week’s scores, submitted along with kicking off next week’s game. Brady & I will talk about and launch the next featured game we are score chasing at our official Twitch channel here: https://www.twitch.tv/playgamesmoredotcom
