Meteors gives you and your Electron the chance to try your hand at that old favourite, Asteroids. It is a faithful adaptation of the arcade original, with no frills apart from the addition of a 'freeze' facility.

For the benefit of the small minority unfamiliar with this genre, you command a ship which you can manoeuvre about the screen. Asteroids of different shapes and sizes pass in all directions, together with the occasional enemy flying saucer.

Your task is simple - blast everything in sight, and avoid collision and the alien missiles to stay in the game.

Pressing the space bar will project you through hyperspace to another part of the screen.

Those of you determined to add this well-worn favourite to your collection could do a lot worse.
