Play Asterix (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) Online

Game Overview

Ever wanted to knock Roman soldiers into next week as a tiny, mustachioed Gaul? Asterix on the NES is basically that childhood fantasy turned into pixelated chaos. You play as either Asterix—quick but a bit fragile—or Obelix, who’s basically a walking wrecking ball with a menhir addiction. The first level throws you right into it: smacking legionaries, dodging spears, and chugging magic potion when things get dicey (turns out it makes you invincible for a few glorious seconds).

The sprites are bright and cartoony, just like the comics, and there’s something weirdly satisfying about watching Obelix casually chuck a giant rock at some poor Roman’s face. It’s not exactly a deep game—you mostly punch, jump, and repeat—but the co-op mode is where the real fun is. Grab a friend, pick your Gaul, and try not to accidentally bonk each other while clearing camps. Just a heads-up: Obelix will hog all the roast boar power-ups.

It’s short, silly, and feels like playing through a Saturday morning cartoon. If you’ve got nostalgia for the comics or just want some old-school brawling, this one’s a solid pick.
