Asterix is a side-scrolling beat 'em up arcade game developed by Konami and released in 1992. It is based on the popular French comic series Asterix and Obelix. Players can choose to control either Asterix the Gaul or his loyal companion, Obelix, as they battle against the powerful Roman Empire. The game features a range of funny and creative combat moves, showcased in the game's attract mode. The visuals and overall style of Asterix stay faithful to the original French comics, and the game's many humorous details—like the defeated Roman soldiers scurrying away—will feel instantly recognizable to fans of the books and animated series. Special bonus stages, such as the thrilling chariot race at the end of the first level, offer a change of pace with unique gameplay elements.
