Archive1 2006-08-16 ch 1,	abuseI read this in 20 but I never got a chance to review it. I've loved it then, and I love it now. Taking something as, dare I say, simple and dull as the classic Asteroids game and spinning a tale with the "dirty future" gleam of Star Wars and the relatively creative pseudo-science (This is meant positively, not negatively) of Star-Trek, I think this is unique and fantastic.
Razorwind 2006-07-31 ch 1,	abusewell damn, that was great allways interesting to see people's takes on these old games with no story, I personally am working with Gradius but this is quite an achivement. keep up the good work Reza Kaze Razorwind
Phantom Kensai 2006-04-04 ch 1,	abuseWHOA... Stuff like this you don't find every day, folks. And that's the gospel truth. Somehow, a game that was a game in the purest sense of the word was transformed into a space opera not unlike that of the Escape Velocity universe. And that can only mean it's a good thing. The parallel this story has with Escape Velocity is pretty striking. An ordinary man just out to earn a few bucks getting entangled in a big mess between the military and the Aliens. Though you throw in a foil to Ellison in the form of Jason Kain, and I enjoyed their tit-for-tat rivalry, that was ultimately resolved in blood. Your attention to detail on many aspects is striking: spaceship fuel, the ASM as a form of navigation, etc. What I found odd was how Ellison got the Armageddon weapon... it felt a bit deus ex machina. BUT... sweet way to end the story. Probably something else I should mention is the relative lack of profanity. And yet, it flowed so well. I salute you for that. You don't always need to curse like a Navy sailor to make a good story. And geez, you wrote this in middle school? This could sure show a thing or two to all those inflated egos out there. Don't worry, no French Simpsons here. I'm over and out. - Phantom Kensai
The Last Dinosaur 2006-02-04 ch 1,	abuseNice. To the flamers, it does not take a year to make a 90 word story! Some people are able to do that in ONE HOUR!!
Lady Psychic 2005-12-03 ch 1,	abuseWow! That was an interresting story. It takes alot of skill and imagination to make a great story like this for a simplistic game like Asteroids. I thought it was a great story, and I compliment you for successfully creating an excellent Asteroids fic. I shall read your sequal later.
Milliardo Merques 2005-06-11 ch 1,	abuseWow... I was reading this and wondering if this was the asteroids I had played or if this was some new hell thought up by Sony... That was insane writing and junk. I never really pictured anyone going that far on, as your friend's friend so artfully put it "A 2D space game where you shoot blobs". The only contructive crticism I can offer is that you should really use indentations or a line of those "*" things to indicate when you change scenes. It's kind of strange when one minute the character is in his fighter and the next minute he's on a space station.
Ragewaar 2004-08-18 ch 1,	abuseThat was damn incredible. Keep up the good work. It's amazing how you turned a 2-d game with an amazing lack of variety/weaponry (The last time I checked anyways) Into this. Good job. I can't beleive that anyone would hate this.
Mister Cynical 2003-06-06 ch 1,	abuseExcellent story. =Note to Beserker Rage. You wrote a fanfic on gundam wing, which has a plot and it wasn't anywhere near as good as this.
James Jago 2003-02-26 ch 1,	abuseDisregard all those guys going on about how sad it is to write fanfics about games with no plot or dialogue; hell, I'm writing a Blake's 7 fic which is vastly inferior in terms of character development, plot and dialogue, and I didn't even have to make up my own characters! The plot is actually pretty good, and rises above the game; it'd work very well as an original fic.
Kuzuye 2002-11-22 ch 1,	abuseIt takes much imagination to take a game like Asteroids and give it a past, and to all flamers of this story, please use that one brain cell you managed to keep hold of and go do something constructive. Ahem. To you, Luke, it was an interesting story. I liked the feel of it. Great fic, keep writing.
JohnRoss 2002-09-18 ch 1,	abuseTo the author: I emailed BerserkerRage about his comment, and he replied with fervor that he in fact did not make that statement, but his friend did whom he showed fanfiction.net to (in which he was not around to stop him.) He wished I tell you that. Good wishes.
CastleVmaster 2002-07-26 ch 1,	abuseSuperb... bravo! i never thought you would pull this off so well!
Matt Morwell 2002-07-23 ch 1,	abuseHey, BerkserkRage, you owe a serious apology to this author for that flame. He didn't do anything to you... how DARE you insult him! He did his best to make a decent story out of an old game, and he managed it... meanwhile, you take minutes out of your precious life to belittle him? Who the hell do you think you are?! That is called ABUSE, and it's not tolerated around here. You didn't even bother to read it, did you? Just so eager to bash someone who tried to write something based on a game YOU don't like... sigh Punk. (Turns to author) Please, PLEASE disregard what I just said to that absolutely rude and thoughtless character. I know you want reviews for your story, not arguments with other authors, so here's mine: This is a truly great story. I'm not sure how you managed to turn Asteroids into such a great read, but you did, and FF.net is so much the better for it. You did an awesome job. I noticed that at the bottom of the page, it says "a ONE SENTENCE REVIEW." So the one sentence I pick out of what I just wrote would be, "This is a truly great story."
BerserkRage 2002-07-16 ch 1,	abuseWTF IS THIS!!! ALMOST 9000 WORDS ABOUT A 2D SPACESHIP SHOOTING BLOBS ON THE SCREEN WHERE DID YOU HIT UR HEAD STUPID. U MUST HAV LOTS UV TIME ON UR HANDS TO DO THAT. U PROBABLY LIVE IN A 1 ROOM APARTMENT WITH A COMPUTER AND A BED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. IM MEAN REALLY............................... ASTEROIDS MY ASS
Andie Firehawk 2002-05-16 ch 1,	abuseAll I can say is... wow. A fic about Asteroids? A long one? Way to pull it off! :-D
