'Asteroids'
Desktop Blaster can display items and float them around the screen only to be shot down with a wire-frame ship, similar to the arcade classic that launched in 1979.
Commissioned by the Sci-Fi channel and developed by Public Creative, the game is downloaded to the desktop, with scores uploaded to an online leaderboard for competitive play.
Creative director Jonathan Drysdale said: "The inspiration for Desktop Blaster came from our love of retro gaming, all things sci-fi and a detailed knowledge of the different technology currently available."
The game can be found on the Sci-Fi website.
