Oh Jesus, I remember first playing this game while bored at my mother's workplace, when I was about 10-12 years old. Wow this is such a nostalgia trip.

For the invisible ships bug, I just found out that it only happens in cinematic mode.
If you don't go in cinematic mode, all the ships appear and shoot just fine.

The ONLY thing you need to do to get both HARD badges at the same time is to get all, and I mean ALL, the SPEED powerups.

On a mac w/ firefox, I can see the repulse ships and my allies, but cannot see anything else I'm destroying. I see the explosions, but not what I'm hitting.

So many bugs I am surprised the game was even allowed on Kong. Invisible enemies for most levels, random freezing, and glitchy level endings.

I feel lucky, I got both badges at once, almost as if I earned an impossible badge! If you just upgrade your speed and nothing else, plus memorize the field and then at the end just run around in circles you should win after a few tries. Good luck!

WOW finally an enjoyable musical theme. If you're into that sorta thing. Plus, absolutely killer sound FX directly from Atari ~~ Asteroids. [Like the 'crunching' when you take damage, the ship's cannon noise, etc] 5/5 thanks~!!

I used to play this game a lot when it first came out but now it is not working when I went back to try for the badges. o_O Could it be my browser? I am using FF8.

Go for Speed Run Badge first. Get Speed as every upgrade. Got 3:51 being somewhat careful for the alternating mines. And scored 7784. Speed helps score more than Allies and Shields. For final, start by pressing X for a moment, then hold C. Run around edge except when trying to reach red mine or ally bonus. When gain a new ally, release and hold C again.

Here's a cool tip: If you get a large enough asteroid you can get 2 power ups and once!"
use that to get both size and ally. once or twice try to get a few other upgrades but just stick with ally and size. on the last level just let your allies go crazy and have your asteroid circle around the outside. Remember if you become a tiny asteroid and your allies are still big then release the C/mouse button and press it in again. that will switch you to the largest available asteroid. if you are the last asteroid and uyou are tiny then try to dodge your way to a powerup
