Release id #116405 : Asteroids Emulator (Build March 2, 2013)

Is this a game or a tool? I am not sure how to judge this release. Refering the docs it's the original console code running inside an emulated environment doing the sound and video output. So the game code inside is not new, but the emulator environment which would qualifiy it as a tool. But the gamecode itself is 100% dependent and useless without the emulation it is fixed to. Finally it is something to play which would make it a game.

For me, it would only be a tool if you could load in and display other code without further alterations.
It is a bit different with another release by the same author: YM-64 - although it seems that all the packs released just contained converted musics including the player, but you would not get the standalone program to load in other .YM tunes. I will, however, meet Norbert soon, and ask him directly for more info.
