Planetoids is a clone of Atari, Inc.'s Asteroids arcade game published by Adventure International for the Apple II in 1980 and TRS-80 in 1981. Each was originally an independently sold game, neither of which was titled Planetoids. The Apple II version, programmed by Marc Goodman, was published as Asteroid.[1] The TRS-80 game was written by Greg Hassett as Fasteroids by Adventure Works.[2] Fasteroids was still sold by Adventure Works at the same time Planetoids was available through Adventure International.[3] The TRS-80 version includes features not present on the Apple II or arcade original.
