Astérix (1993) · Tastebuds

Astérix was developed by Bit Managers and Infogrames for a number of different consoles. It was based after the comic book series Asterix, which maintained a high level of popularity in Europe, but never took off in North America. For this reason, the game was only released in PAL format, and was never released in North America. The game takes place in 50 B.C.-the main character, a mustached Gaul named Asterix must fight his way across Europe, fighting Romans and animals along the way to rescue his friend Obelix before Caesar throws Obelix to the lions.
