Asterix & Obelix Gameboy game

In 1995, Infogrames, alongside Bit Managers and East Point Software, launched "Asterix & Obelix," a video game extravaganza available for MS-DOS, Windows, SNES, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color platforms. This dynamic game offered both single-player and multiplayer modes, inviting players to step into the shoes of the iconic Gauls, Asterix or Obelix. As they embarked on their journey, gamers traversed through a variety of vibrant landscapes inspired by different countries: from the misty moors of Britania to the sun-drenched shores of Hispania. Along the way, they encountered a legion of adversaries, primarily the bumbling Romans, engaging in exhilarating side-scrolling action packed with jumps, runs, and battles.

Drawing from the rich tapestry of Asterix comic books, the game's levels were a homage to beloved adventures like "Asterix in Britain," "Asterix in Switzerland," "Asterix at the Olympic Games," "Asterix and Cleopatra," and "Asterix in Spain." However, the Game Boy Advance rendition took a detour, featuring a mission inspired by "Asterix and the Black Gold" instead of the classic "Asterix and Cleopatra."

But the challenge wasn't merely about conquering levels; it was about showcasing Gaulish strength and defiance to Caesar's schemes. Caesar, in his relentless pursuit to subdue the indomitable Gauls, had erected a formidable palisade around their village, intending to imprison them. Undeterred, players, as either Asterix or Obelix, embarked on an epic quest across the Roman Empire. Their mission? To gather souvenirs from each conquered country, a tangible testament to their prowess and resilience. With every trinket collected, they aimed to defy Caesar's expectations and prove that the Gauls were a force to be reckoned with.
