Asterix is a classic platformer released in 1991. It’s based on the famous comic book series and allows players to take on the roles of either Asterix or Obelix. Each character has unique abilities that affect how they navigate through the levels. The game features a variety of stages, each with its own challenges, including finding keys and defeating bosses. Players can enjoy the game solo or with a friend in a turn-based two-player mode.

During development the game was known as Astérix in Egypt. It was previewed under this name in several video game publications of the time, showing simpler graphics. The name was likely changed because for the vast majority of the game, Astérix isn't in Egypt; Astérix and Obélix start the game in the Gaul region (part of modern day France) and journey across Europe, only arriving in Egypt in round 7.
