Asteroids Arcade Game

The video game, Asteroids is the perfect piece of nostalgia for any amusement arena, “throwback” arcade, or corporate event. This retro, fun slice of classic arcade history is the perfect fit for ‘80s themed events, trade show booths, hospitality events, and so much more.  This is the original Asteroids game in the Asteroid arcade cabinet!

There’s a reason that the Asteroids Arcade Game is a stone-cold classic that your employees, co-workers, or event attendees will line up to play. Not only is it one of the first video games ever made, but it’s as simple as it is fast-paced, making it an enthralling experience from start to finish. And since it’s so easy to play, even people who didn’t grow up with this beloved video game can quickly find themselves enthralled by this longtime arcade favorite.

Gameplay involves dodging asteroids, saucers, and shots fired from UFOs as players navigate their ship through a dangerous and deadly array of objects hurling through outer space. Each player shoots at asteroids to shatter them into smaller pieces, taking down those tinier bits with a single shot. Players can also destroy UFOs with one shot, but unlike the asteroids, these ships can shoot back! If a collision with a UFO or asteroid is inevitable, players can use the “hyperspace” function to instantly teleport to a different part of the board, but they’ll have to be careful – they could reemerge directly atop an asteroid!

Playing Asteroids Arcade Game

As gameplay progresses, players will encounter an ever-increasing number of asteroids and UFOs, pumping up the adrenaline and encouraging repeated plays. And as your event attendees play game after game, other people will want to take turns, naturally building crowds and getting a buzz going at your event. Even though Asteroids was one of the first video games to capture imaginations across the U.S., it remains one of the most consistently entertaining, adventurous arcade game rentals available.

Loving the throwback vibe? The Asteroids Classic Arcade Game pairs well with other retro games such as Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Frogger, and it can easily draw trade show attendees to your booth alongside other attractions including the Zoltar Fortune Telling Machine, Chaos Strike a Light game, and the Cash Blowing Money Machine.

• A TIMELESS CLASSIC: The Asteroids Arcade Game is a timeless video game and arcade classic. The simple gameplay and retro graphics appeal to anyone who so much as glances at it, making it perfect for all manner of corporate events. Its retro feel makes it especially perfect for ‘80s themed events.
• STAYIN’ ALIVE: The goal of this game couldn’t be simpler: Don’t die. Chances are, though, that your event attendees will find actually achieving this goal substantially more challenging. As players destroy asteroids and UFOs and attempt to avoid colliding with them, they’ll encounter even more asteroids and UFOs to avoid. And since the game only gets tougher as it progresses, players will want to come back for more, meaning that crowds will naturally build.
• FINALLY, TELEPORTATION: Under heavy enemy fire? Your players can click a button to relocate their ships to an entirely different part of the screen, but there’s a catch: They can relocate directly atop an asteroid and self-destruct. Talk about an engaging challenge for your next event!
• PERFECT FOR: Trade show booths, ‘80s themed events, holiday parties, and many other corporate settings.

Arcade Rentals

Looking for a way to make your next corporate event truly unforgettable for everyone in attendance? Consider game rentals to take your occasion to the next level. Whether you’re in the market for classic arcade games, sports games, or trade show traffic builders, your rental can significantly increase your chances of drawing in passersby and having them engage with your brand.

Set up a money machine or fortune-telling machine at your trade show booth to encourage attendees to stop by your event for a fun game. Often, you can equip game rentals with customizable banners and other pieces that display your company’s logo and message, exposing your branding to additional people as they swing by your booth for a fun game of Strike a Light or Asteroids. You won’t have to worry about these games taking up too much of the limited space that you likely have at your trade show booth, as they tend to occupy just minimal surface area.

For this same reason, game rentals are ideal for company holiday parties and other corporate events. If you want to give attendees a way to get to know each other with much lower stakes than a formal networking setup, try arranging a few sports games along a wall or in a corner of the room. That way, you can get a crowd of people gathered in a low-pressure, exciting atmosphere that doesn’t dominate your entire event. Try a game rental today to open your next event to limitless possibilities!
