Players can mint a non-fungible token that acts as their access pass and play the classic game Asteroids on the blockchain.
AtariX, the Web3 initiative of video game pioneer Atari, will bring its classic titles to the blockchain through a collaboration with Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 scaling blockchain.
The collaboration starts with the classic arcade game Asteroids, a space-themed multidirectional shooter released in 1979. In the game, the player controls a spaceship and aims to shoot and destroy asteroids while avoiding them.
With the initiative, players can compete and rank up in a global leaderboard to gain prizes like a $1,000 Atari gift card.
