Asterix & Obelix is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Bit Managers and released for the Game Boy in 1995. Based on the beloved French comic series, the game takes you on a journey across the Roman Empireโfrom the familiar Gaulish village to Britannia, Helvetia, and beyond. You can choose to play as either Asterix or Obelix, navigating tricky jumps, collecting stars, and punching out any Roman legionaries or pirates that get in your way.
How to play
Your objective is to guide your chosen Gaul to the end of each level, defeating enemies and clearing obstacles. In the browser emulator, the Game Boy’s D-pad is mapped to your arrow keys for movement. Use Z to jump and X to attack. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select. You can switch between Asterix and Obelix before each level.
Tips
- Character Choice: Asterix is smaller and faster, making him ideal for precise platforming sections. Obelix is larger and slightly slower, which can make avoiding enemy hits more difficult due to his bigger size.
- Combat Tactics: When dealing with long-reaching enemies like club-wielding pirates, do not rush in. Wait for them to swing and miss, then quickly step forward to counter-attack before they can strike again.
