Maelstrom Flash Game

Platform: Flash

Maelstrom is a graphically advanced clone of the arcade classic, Asteroids. It was originally released in 1993 for MAC computers and then later ported to Windows and Linux and then eventually ported to Flash so that it can be played online. Gameplay is the same except that the hyperspace option is replaced by a shield.

To play, click on the 'Play Now' button and then click inside the game window and press P on your keyboard.

Game Controls:

Up Arrow	Thrust forward
Left/Right Arrow	Turn
Ctrl	Fire
Space	Shield
P	Play/Pause
Q	Quit

1. Clicked on the button to try the game, but when the new window opened up, none of the buttons that were specified did anything!

   Loved this game many years ago; would love to try it again.

2. click in the game window once before trying the buttons. The app needs to know that it should interpret your keystrokes.

3. @G,

   Put your mouse cursor 'in' the game area (mouse cursor may disappear) and left click once. Then the specified controls should work.

   P - Start game
   Ctrl - Fire
   Up arrow key - Thrust forward
   Left, Right arrow keys - Turn
   Spacebar - Shield
