For some reason, it was a LOT of fun to me, even without the exciting extra graphics. A buddy and I could play at the same time so it was great fun. If I recall, Big Five sent out a mail saying there was a new version I could get if I returned my tape. So I did and they sent me Meteor Mission 2. I was so mad and spent recent years looking for the original game that was so fun. Meteor Mission 2 was nothing like the first one game play wise. My suspicion was that the first game was too similar to a real arcade game that was out at the time where you would fly up and down to avoid stuff to try to dock at the top or bottom, so B5 decided to change the game to avoid legal hassles? Strange since all their games were clones of popular arcade games, including MM2 I owned this game. For some reason, it was a LOT of fun to me, even without the exciting extra graphics.
