Type:	Platform

Premise:	During the Roman occupation of France, a lone Gaul warrior arose from among his fellows to do battle with his largely incompetent foes. Meet Asterix, the undersized hero of the first French Resistance. Based on the hit European comic series.
Impressions:	Excellent concept, excellent games. I must admit to a certain bias, as I am a fan of the original comic, but even non-fans have found the games to be entertaining. Highly recommended.
Variations:	Asterix and the Great Rescue (1993, Asterix must save his village from a planned Roman attack) Asterix and the Power of the Gods (1995, Asterix and his sidekick Obelix must rescue a sacred shield stolen by the Romans - three different versions of the cart exist: English-only beta, English/French/German, and English/French/German/Italian)
Recommended Emu:	KGen 98
