    Astroids is a perfect example of how the Trademark system is supposed to work

    By

    Earlier in the year, I received an email from the CEO of Industry Entertainment, Nemanja Bondzulic. The sole purpose of the email was to promote Industry Entertainment's upcoming space game, Astroids: Space Game of The Year, an ambiguously-titled game that involves flying a spaceship through an asteroid field.Immediately I was confused, believing I had somehow missed the standard release that typically comes before a Game of the Year edition. So I did some searching, and it turns out that the developers were actually calling their yet-to-be-released game, the "Game of the Year". The phrase "game of the year" was actually its own bullet, on the bulleted list attached to the press release. I noted the fact that the developers were based out of Serbia, so I dismissed the questionable title as an attempt at humor which was lost in translation.Atari, on the other hand, wasn't cool with the title. A recent email from Bondzulic explains that Atari, likely in the defense of their classic Asteroids property, is requiring that Industry Entertainment rename Astroids: Space Game of the Year to something else.

    Asteroids Gunner Review

    Have you ever heard the term "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?" Asteroid Gunner is a game that takes that concept on a complete 360. Last year, Venan Entertainment wowed us with the release of Space Miner: Space Ore Bust - a game that drew heavy inspiration from the Atari classic Asteroids. Then later that year, they wowed us once more with Space Miner Blast - a freemium twist on the Space Miner formula. Asteroid Gunner, in turn, is drawing on Space Miner Blast for inspiration.

    Despite a few stumbles here and there, I'm still convinced that Atari is one of those companies that's destined for mobile gaming greatness. The quick play nature of their classic catalogue make them a perfect fit, and their few unique modern titles, like I Love Strawberries and Faeries vs Darklings, were a blast to play. Now Atari is gearing up to release what appears to be a winning combination of old and new, with the upcoming iOS release of Asteroids Gunner.
