Play Asterix Online

I remember picking up Asterix on the NES back in 1993, a game developed by Infogrames. It was a time when licensed platformers were everywhere, and this one fit right into that familiar, crowded genre on the console.

You control Asterix, and sometimes Obelix, moving screen by screen through levels based on the comic's world. Your main goal is to punch and jump on Roman soldiers while collecting scrolls and food to keep your health up. The game uses a password system to track progress, and you navigate through forests, villages, and Roman camps, with some sections letting you switch between the two characters for their different attack styles. The pacing is brisk, but the difficulty can spike with tricky enemy placements and precise platforming required. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging run through a cartoon Gaul.
