Asterix, known as Taz in North America, is an action game based on the Asterix and Obelix comics, and was released in 1983 by Atari for the Atari 2600. The two games are identical except for the player sprite, which is either Asterix' face in the European version, or the Tazmanian Devil's whirlwind/tornado in America.
The gameplay is rather simple. The player guides Taz between the stage lines in order to eat hamburgers and avoid the dynamites. The game does not use any buttons and the difficulty increases by increasing the speed of the objects on screen. As the game progresses, the burgers may change into other edible or drinkable objects such as beer kegs, hot dogs, etc. There are not many sound effects in the game except a blipping sound when the player hits an edible object and another sound that resembles of explosion when the player hits dynamite.
