Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Asterix series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Core Design/Infogrames
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Platform
LANGUAGE:         English

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, English/French/German, and
                    English/French/German/Italian)

I wasn't keen on this game, which is a shame considering I am a HUGE fan of the original books! However, I think my judgement may have been skewed by the fact that I had been playing the vstly superior Master System asterix game. If you find a copy of the SMS game, then buy it and love it! I still play it!
