In 1998 Syrox Developments developed an enhanced version of "Asteroids" which was released by Activision on multiple platforms. This release included versions for PlayStation (released Oct. 31, 1998), Nintendo 64 (released Dec. 14, 1999), Microsoft Windows (Nov. 30,1998), Game Boy Color (released September 1999), and Macintosh (released July 2000). Doug Perry, writing for entertainment and video game journalism website "IGN", praised the high-end graphics – with realistic space object models, backgrounds, and special effects – for making "Asteroids" "a pleasure to look at" while being a homage to the original arcade version. The Atari Flashback series of dedicated video game consoles have included both the 2600 and the arcade versions of "Asteroids".
