Gameplay
Asterix is a typical side-scrolling platform game where either Asterix or Obelix must navigate through each stage; in most stages the player must locate a key that will open a door at the end of the stage, and in some stages a boss must be defeated to complete the stage. The game is broken up into 8 different areas with between 1 and 3 stages in each area. The player starts with 3 lives and 3 health points; a health point is lost if the character is hit by an enemy, and a life is lost if all health points are lost or if the character falls down a hole. Health points can be obtained by picking up certain items during the game. When certain bosses are defeated a heart is obtained, collecting this heart increases the health capacity by one point. The character can have up to 6 health points.
The player has the choice prior to each stage of choosing Asterix or Obelix to complete the stage; in level 1-1 the player must choose Asterix and level 1-2 the player must choose Obelix. The game can be played with 1 or 2 players, in 2 player mode each player takes turns at completing the stage, player 1 plays the game as Asterix and player 2 plays as Obelix.
