Play 3 in 1 - Asteroids, Yar's Revenge and Pong (E)(sUppLeX) Online

I picked up 3 in 1 - Asteroids, Yar's Revenge and Pong on the Game Boy Advance, a compilation released by sUppLeX. It's a straightforward collection of arcade classics, the kind of thing you'd expect to find on the GBA alongside other simple, pick-up-and-play titles from that era.

In Asteroids, you pilot a small triangular ship, breaking apart large rocks into smaller pieces while avoiding collisions and enemy UFOs. Yar's Revenge puts you in control of the Yar, a ship that must destroy the Qotile by firing through a rotating shield at just the right moment. Pong is the familiar two-paddle duel, either against the CPU or a friend. The games are fast and demand precise timing, especially Yar's Revenge with its psychedelic visual interruptions. It feels satisfying to fall into the rhythm of each game, even when the difficulty spikes.
