Thanks jb, we had to take Asteroids down for a while until the licence issue get's sorted. In the meantime we thought hey - what the heck lets do our own thing in the Retro-Style of 1979. Whilist using a bit of artistic licence of course.
I've noticed that on games such as FFVIII (PSX), FFIX(PSX) and FFX (PS2) also GTASanAndreas(PS2) there is a visual effect (used during some 'summons' on the FF games) which adds a kind of motion-blur to the images. This motion-blur also affects some of the HUD sprites which really adds to the overall effect. I think you may have just shown how that's possible in Blitz :)
