"Space Duel" is an arcade game released in 1982 by Atari Inc.. It is a direct descendant of the original "Asteroids", with asteroids replaced by colorful geometric shapes like cubes, diamonds, and spinning pinwheels. Shoot all objects to complete a level. "Space Duel" is the first and only multi-player interactive vector game by Atari. When "Asteroids Deluxe" did not sell well, this game was taken off the shelf and released to moderate success.

Legacy

"Space Duel" is included within the "Atari Anthology" for Windows, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 and the PlayStation version of "Atari Anniversary Edition".

A port of "Space Duel" was released on the Atari Flashback 2, reproducing only the single-player mode.
