Reception
A Next Generation reviewer gave it one out of five stars, chiefly criticizing its nature as an Asteroids clone, though he acknowledged that "the graphics are much more complex, the music is an added bonus, and the power-ups add a lot of spice ..."[5]
Amiga Format rated the game 90%, saying: "As polished Asteroids clones go, Super Stardust is untouchable. The graphics are extraordinary and the gameplay matches them."[6]
