Hi Ron, Agreed. There are a number of classic 2d platformers that haven't been explored before. As for Asteroids that is definitely something on my todo list. Although, my Asteroids version will be a bit more advanced than the original.
One reason I say that is now that I have a fully qualified 3d game engine Asteroids is exactly the kind of game that could put it to use. Outerspace, like everything else, is 3d, and since there are no mazes etc it should be fairly easy enough to get to grips of flying a spacecraft around in a 3d environment. Of course, there will be massive Asteroids floating around you will have to avoid hitting and the ocational UFO trying to blow you out of space. However, the game will be more or less like a space flying simulation than the classic arcade game. At least, that is the plan. Cheers!
