    Caught this link from an article on Wired. A dev called Kevin Roast created a version of Asteroids while learning how to use HTML5.

    Worth a look - has weapon upgrades!

    Would like to see the power-ups resemble the weapon upgrade in some way, but apart from that a real good game!

    It even has traditional old-style Asteroids mode.

    Excellent implementation of the game and a worthy demo of what can be accomplished on this next evolution of the web.
